Window? Check Groupon for a deal for local movers. I recently bought one for 4 hours moving for $80. They moved furniture around for me. Professional movers sometimes have the "knack" for squeezing furniture in.

Cut the legs of -- carefully. Move couch, reattach legs.

take off the door

Google the problem: many solutions are presented. http://www.mymovingreviews.com/move/furniture-does-not-fit-door

Taking off the door would be easiest. My husband and son had a very hard time fitting our large refrigerator through the front door when we moved into our house last year. My husband had to remove doors.

When I had Lazy Boy sofas delivered to my house, the delivery men had to turn the sofa a certain way to get it through the doorway. I'm assuming you have tried this but if not, please do.

How funny to read about this now - When I finally got a chair into the house that we thought was impossible! I called manufacturer (Barcalounger) and they were so helpful. Side door and interior doors to the room were 32 inches (as they generally are). Finally found someone able to find the correct angle for this heavy chair! I heard tales about people cutting legs off and taking out large windows to use as portals but I was not going to do this. It is so frustrating to say they least. Wishing you the best outcome. Oh, and also bought a piece of furniture years ago that would not make the turn in upstairs hallway. This piece I returned to retailer because nothing could be done.

This rarely happens as most entry doors are 36 inches. If you were being moved by friends............call a pro. You probably have the angle wrong: )

I agree most doors are wide enough for a sofa to fit through when they are entry doors, even in old buildings if it made it up the stairs it should go in the door try standing it on end and putting 2 legs through at a time so it can rotate through the doorway.

Guys, the problem door is a media room door -- it's probably not 36 inches, but it's probably also constrained in terms of angle of approach...

Not in older homes. Some of our doors are 28 inches.

Look at the windows first.

I had a friend cut his sofa in two and reassemble it inside the house. Contact the sofa sales group. They might have an idea.

Or have a local woodworker/cabinet maker/finish carpenter/handyman cut off the legs and reassemble.

I had that problem once and was able to take my Anderson dbl hung window sash out and brought the couch in through the window. Took an extra 1/2 hour. Ask a local carpenter if that is a possibility, don't try to do it yourself.

We had to chip part of the door frame/jamb off. We didn't want to mess with the couch!

We are not getting any feed back from the original poster so give it up

Thank you everyone!! We have considered most of the options that everyone has suggested. We didn't want to start tearing out door jambs or sawing off the legs of the couch if we didn't have to. Looks like the plan moving forward will be to remove the legs (by a trained furniture builder), take the door off and part of the trim.
Thanks!!

how a double mattress boxspring got to the 3rd floor of our house. and the movers had giant grins.. they said they hate when everything is easy.

Lol! I've seen that done. My brother moved into an older home and they had to take out the window to get the bed in. Trying not to do that here. But who knows.....anything is possible at this point. The couch is so well made (yay me?) and heavy as HECK! So we want to really think it through before we break our backs moving this couch upstairs. Great picture!

That really sucks. We had a scare a number of years ago with a sectional for our basement. They got half of it in, and the ottoman, but were stuck on the second half. They ended up leaving - we actually asked them to stop trying as it had started to snow a bunch and we were afraid of damaging the piece plus the snowfall was making things hard anyway - and had them come back to try again later. Later turned into 2 weeks, because we had a freak fall snow storm and were without power for 10 days (!!), during which my husband made all these diagrams and geometric sketches and measurements. It was a custom made piece so not returnable. Anyway, after we finally regained power, we rescheduled the delivery and this time it was 2 other men who came to deliver it. Turns out ... the bottom of the legs screwed off (don't know why the first delivery guys didn't know this) and that gave us just enough leeway to fit it in! We knew how the piece was constructed and thought the legs went straight up through the piece, but it turns out the decorative feet part were removable, and that made all the difference! Yes, we tipped these delivery guys generously!

Good luck with your piece ... and know that once you get it in, you will probably sell it with the house one day!

There are some companies out there that can disassemble your sofa and reassemble in your space. I had it done to a sectional that I purchased that was too big to go down into a basement. The process was a little scary, seeing them saw through the sofa, but at the end the sofa looked perfect. You couldn't tell at all that at one point it was in pieces. The fabric and everything look perfect. And I haven't had any issues with stability at all, they make sure they reinforce all the joints. I live in the greater New York area and the company I used was Z Brothers. I highly recommend them. There is also another company called Dr Sofa that will provide the same services.

I've contacted a company called Furniture RX. They're coming out this afternoon to take a look at the couch/legs/doorway. Hoping to have a final solution. Will let you know what we decide and will provide pictures in the follow up post. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Omg I'm same problem right now, have furniture repair technicians get done, curved new soda has 5 legs and I same...saw it off
