Confirming office sofa accessibility: Ensuring smooth delivery (checklist)

Measure the height and width of all doorways, hallways, and elevator entrances. Compare these measurements to the sofas dimensions (height, width, and depth) to confirm it can pass through. Consider the sofas diagonal depth as well.

Discuss potential solutions with the furniture retailer beforehand. Options may include disassembling the sofa (if possible), hoisting it through a window (if feasible and permitted), or returning the sofa with associated restocking fees.

Yes, some retailers offer sofas with modular designs or detachable components for easier navigation through tight spaces. Look for sofas described as knock-down or easy-assembly models.

Clear the pathway of any obstacles and cover your floors and walls with protective materials like cardboard, blankets, or plastic sheeting to prevent scratches or damage during the sofas movement.

Check with the furniture retailer regarding their old sofa disposal services. Some offer disposal as part of the delivery, potentially for an additional fee, while others may not provide this service. You might need to arrange for separate disposal services.
