Beyond Bending Tell You How
Recliner sofas are a great addition to any living room, providing comfort and relaxation after a long day at work. However, there may come a time when you need to take apart your recliner sofa for moving or cleaning purposes. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps on how to take apart a recliner sofa in a relaxed and easy-to-understand language.
Gather Your Tools
Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand. You will need a flathead screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a wrench, and a power drill. It’s also a good idea to have some gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes.
Start by Removing the Cushions and Backrest
The first step in taking apart a recliner sofa is to remove the cushions and backrest. This will give you access to the inner workings of the sofa. Start by flipping the sofa over and removing the screws that hold the backrest in place. Once the screws are removed, gently lift the backrest off the sofa.
Detach the Arms
Next, you will need to detach the arms from the sofa. Look for any screws or bolts that hold the arms in place and use your wrench to remove them. Once the screws are removed, gently lift the arms off the sofa.
Remove the Footrest and Frame
The footrest and frame are typically held in place by screws or bolts. Use your power drill to remove these screws and lift the footrest and frame off the sofa. Be sure to keep track of all the screws and bolts you remove, so you can easily put the sofa back together later.
Disassemble the Recliner Mechanism
The recliner mechanism is the most complicated part of the sofa. It’s important to pay close attention to how it’s put together, so you can easily reassemble it later. Look for any screws or bolts that hold the mechanism in place and use your wrench to remove them. Once the screws are removed, gently lift the mechanism off the sofa.
It’s a good idea to take pictures or make notes of how the mechanism is put together, so you can easily reassemble it later.
Putting it Back Together
Now that you’ve taken apart your recliner sofa, it’s time to put it back together. Start by following the steps in reverse order, beginning with the recliner mechanism. Use your pictures or notes to guide you in reassembling the mechanism correctly.
Next, reattach the footrest and frame, followed by the arms. Finally, reattach the backrest and cushions. Be sure to tighten all the screws and bolts securely, so the sofa is stable and safe to use.
Congratulations! You have successfully taken apart and put back together your recliner sofa.
