GRRRR i need couch help

so apparently our new couch will not fit in our house

at all, unless we rip out our door

so, our new couch is now on it's way back to the store

we basically have a 30" door opening to our insanely old house, so now we need to find a new couch

any ideas as to where i can find a gray fabric couch that is either assembled in the home or is less than 30" wide?

it's been a month without a couch..Chat Icon Chat Icon

Ikea has some assemble yourself couches.

This one comes in dark grey or light grey.

This one is also in grey, and is assembled at home:

Re: GRRRR i need couch help

What style are you going for? Do you have a pic of the couch you sent back?

I typically like Raymour & Flanigan, and recently saw some great pieces at Jennifer Convertibles.

Also if the couch has wooden feet they usually come off to fit thru doors.

a friend of mine had this problem and did not want to pick different couches. There are people who actually take them apart, bring them in and put them back together. Apparrently, they put them back together better/ stronger than their original state. He was so happy he did it!

We just had this done last month. We ordered a 3 pc sectional for our basement and the largest pc would not fit down the stairs. It cost $200 for them to take it apart and then reassemble in the room, but it was worth every penny. Ashley furniture recommended the guy we used.

I am pretty sure if you order from Ashley you can pay $50 to ensure they will get it in your house. My brother did this about 2 years ago and they took it apart and got it in his basement.

Also not sure if this is what you are looking for but if you buy a couch that has a recliner in it...it is easily separated into smaller sections. This is what we did for our basement. Not sure if you were looking for a more formal look though
