Do you have a big sofa or a tricky staircase which mean that you can’t get the sofa upstairs?
Even worse, have you spent a lot of time trawling round the shops and internet sites and collecting fabric samples so that you could buy your ideal sofa only to be faced with the big headache of having to send it back on delivery because you can’t get the sofa upstairs? Has the sofa shop told you that you might lose the delivery costs or even some of the value of the sofa when you return it?
Truth being told, moving a sofa can be difficult even if there are no stairs involved. Add a staircase and the task becomes 10 times harder.
Fortunately, we have a few tips you can try that might make getting your sofa upstairs a little easier or at the very least happen!
How to Get a Sofa Upstairs
Here are some tricks to try when moving a sofa upstairs:
1. Remove the Spindles
Perhaps the spindles on the banister are causing the problem? By removing one or two of these you might have enough space to get the sofa upstairs.
2. Take the Banister Off
If removing one or two of the spindles doesn’t create enough space you may have to go one stage further and remove some or the entire banister thereby creating enough space for your sofa to go up those tricky stairs.
3. Remove the Sofa Feet
Quite often you will find that the feet on your sofa can easily be detached by unscrewing them, removing these may create that little bit of extra space that you need to get your sofa up the stairs.
4. Twist it Through 45 Degrees
You may have already thought of this one but a combination of taking the back cushions off and twisting your sofa through 45 degrees is often all that you need to combat those awkward difficult to negotiate stairs.
5. Leave the Sofa Downstairs or Send it Back
You probably don’t want to contemplate this but if none of these ideas work you may need to leave that sofa downstairs or worst of all send it back to the sofa shop that you bought it from.
