    You have NO IDEA how much of a headache and hassle you just saved me omg. I almost had to carry one of these up 7 flights of narrow stairs!! That would’ve been a NIGHTMARE 😭😭😭

    Thank you so much for this clear, helpful tutorial. My son and I simply could not move our double recliner sofa fifteen feet through two doorways into our downstairs family room. Then, I found your post. We were able to remove twelve screws and nuts, take the sofa apart, move it in sections, and reconnect easily to the rails. Great post.

    Thank you, I remember when I purchased it came separately and they put it together at the house, now that I'm moving I said there must be a video out there showing how to take it apart. You really help save the couch.

    You are absolutely awesome. I’m an older single mom and was panicking on how I was going to move these into our new home. But you made this so easy!! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. You are out here doing good work. 💜💙

    What a Godsend this was. We ended up sawing and breaking to get the old couch out. The new couch sat on a trailer in the driveway last night because we were going to need more people to help. Then I saw this video. Took us almost no time at all to get the couch in the house and put back together.
    Thank you!!

    I really appreciate people like you. I’m nearly 70 and was able to move one of these by myself thanks to you. The cheapest local help I could find was $128.00 per hour + $50.00 disposal fee. You saved me a lot of money and my local waste management picked it up for free once I got it outside. Only took me about 30 minutes total. God bless you!!!!

    I was given one of these couches and did not know you could do this. We tried moving it into my basement as one unit and it would not go. Your video has saved the day. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for this video! It was incredibly helpful for moving our old couch. I only wish I would have seen it 15 years ago before we moved it into and then out of a third floor apartment!

  • @DougLarsonVideo

    This was perfect. As soon as I got halfway through the video, I knew what to do and had that couch through the door in a few minutes. Thank you so much!!

    I agree with Alvie. A video that actually does what it says. Straightforward, no nonsense, awesome. I think you just spared my son and I a lot of hassle. Thanks!!!

  • @katecrawford9966
    @katecrawford9966 2 года назад +8

    Great advice, clearly expressed! Just a note: my dual recliner Lazyboy has removable backs. You have to find the two locking levers and release them, then the back just slides up and off.

    Very nice. Excellent. It made my day. Disassemble took around 25 minutes once I got a hang of it. Assembly actually took less than 5 minutes. Amazing help you were. Cheers

    @TitanZenergy 2 года назад +1

    You da man. They were going to charge me $250 for assembly at home. It couldn’t fit the door to bring it in. Thanks man. Just 12bolts I could disassemble it. Have all the blessed life!!😄

    Thanks so much for posting this video. I have virtually the same sofa and am getting ready to move to a new apartment that only has a small elevator that wouldn’t accommodate such a large sofa and I really didn’t want to think about carrying that up lots of flights of stairs. This will make my move much easier! Thanks!!

  • @maryelizabeth7528
    @maryelizabeth7528 Год назад +1

    To the original movers from this video dated 12/5/17, I can't thank you enough for your video! Not only can I now get the sofa through the the deck door without paying someone $150. to remove it, but my daughter and I can now do it without killing ourselves on the 16 deck stairs. We'll just throw it over the rail. Heads up! You made me laugh!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. it sure helps weather moving or in my case repairing a powered reclining sofa. Tearing down my reclining sofa this way will allow me the chance to do a quality repair on both side frames of the sofa. I have Built high-end home and office furnishings for over 35 years and in all those years I have never had to deal with all the problems I have had to with repairing this relatively new couch from Art Van furniture. since they went bankrupt I lost all my warranty coverage including the extended warranty coverage I bought to cover any future repairs. Oh well such is life lol. I can handle any repairs that come along but I just needed to figure out the best and most efficient way of tearing down my sofa to do the repairs in a timely manner. I Don’t know why I didn’t see doing the repair teardown that easily. well, I guess I don’t know everything after all lol. thanks again it’s time to get to work.

    Thank you so much for this. I had no idea how I was going to move out my ex's reclining couch and loveseat. I had thought I'd need to hire movers for the weight. Before I did I measured doorways and realized weight was only one issue, and thought there had to be some trick to how they got in, because there was no dimension that would fit thru the doorway. (He insisted on buying them from previous owners.) Anyway, your video saved me so much trouble and I moved everything out solo!
