Beyond Bending Tell You How
So, you’ve just bought a new sofa, and you’re excited to get it into your apartment. But, the problem is, it’s too big to fit through the door. Don’t worry, there are a few things you can do to get your sofa inside your apartment without damaging it. Here are some tips:
Measure the Sofa and the Doorways
The first thing you need to do is measure the sofa and the doorways. This will help you determine if the sofa can fit through the door or not. Measure the height, width, and depth of the sofa, and then measure the height and width of the doorways. If the sofa is too big to fit through the doorways, you may need to disassemble it.
Disassemble the Sofa
If the sofa is too big to fit through the doorways, you may need to disassemble it. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to see if the sofa can be taken apart. If it can, carefully follow the instructions to disassemble it. Be sure to keep all the screws and bolts in a safe place so you don’t lose them.
Protect the Sofa
Before you move the sofa, be sure to protect it. Cover it with a moving blanket or a sheet to prevent scratches and tears. You can also use bubble wrap to protect the corners and edges of the sofa.
Find Help
Moving a sofa is not a one-person job. You’ll need at least one other person to help you. Try to find someone who has experience moving furniture. This will make the process easier and safer.
Use a Dolly
If you have a dolly, use it to move the sofa. A dolly will make it easier to move the sofa without damaging it. Be sure to strap the sofa to the dolly to keep it in place.
Angle the Sofa
If the sofa is too big to fit through the doorways, try angling it. Turn the sofa on its side and angle it so that it can fit through the doorway. Be sure to protect the walls and doorways from scratches and dents.
Hire a Professional
If you’re not comfortable moving the sofa yourself, or if the sofa is too big to fit through the doorways, consider hiring a professional moving company. A professional mover will have the tools and experience to move the sofa safely and without damage.
