Chicken boarders

What is the best way to do this as it will not go through any door (even with door removed ) good knows how the removal men go it in. Is there an easier of way of unscrewing the back of something ?

Chainsaw?

Have you taken the feet off? That can give you a little more room for manoeuvre.

some sofas have to be upended with the casters removed then 'folded' through the door seat faceing the door jamb with the back support going through first in a twisting motion. if that fails then a window has to be taken out

has for braking one up that depends on weather you are s"Ooops, word censored!"ing it or not

You called?

 

Seriously, my old house has a 2'6" wide front door; I've always been careful to measure things before I buy them but there have been numerous neighbours who have had to turn back large suites because they wouldn't fit in.

Well I pulled the material off the back and then got bored so thought I'd try and get it out through the doors. The last time anyone tried was 2 years ago - my son wanted it for his flat. 4 18 year olds and one of their dads couldn't manage to get it out with the casters and the doors off the hinges. I did it in about 10 mins on my own, I just put it on its side and pushed till it went through, did it into the conservatory and then through the kitchen and out the front door - to say I'm chuffed with myself is an understatement

Well done

When we first moved in here (very small cottage at the time), we couldn't get our double divan bed up the stairs & ended up having to take the staircase out,& making do with a step ladder for 6 months

 

Well done - it is a great feeling of achievement when you do something against the odds,isn't it?

There must be a 'how many men does it take to remove a sofa' joke in there somewhere

When my weimaraner was a pup, she destroyed mine

I'd have taken it apart to recover lost items anyway. Did you find any treasure?

[Space Chick]

Phil took an old sofa to the tip and dumped it..... Then couldn't get his new sofa in his house (before we lived together). He ended up buying a futon which is now our spare bed in our guest room.

 

He moved in with me shortly after that.... I think the lack of a sofa was a driving factor

 

Whenever one of us is being hasty, it's known as a "taking the sofa to the tip" moment

£1.80

£1.80 is better than nothing - in our house its cheerios, fruit flakes and other edibles now non edibles sporting a fur coat I am OCD re hoovering sofa weekly and if someones ass is on it that doesnt stop me.
