Who's brilliant idea was it to make furniture bigger than the doorways they eventually have to fit through and far too heavy for one person to lift alone? 😠

I agree, I bought the biggest leather suite you can buy, when they delivered it we had the front door off, the back door off but to no avail.
Left it in the garage for 2 days until me and mate took the whole front window out which took 1 hour to remove and 5 hours to refit and seal...wot a pain. The only way this suite is leaving here is after 10 minutes with Mr Chainsaw. 😉

I haven't figured that one out either. When I got a new box spring it had to be returned because it made it into the house but couldn't go up the stairs. I could have just started sleeping in the livingroom instead, I suppose.

Ahh, sleep! An elusive thing at the moment! 😳

Pretend it was mine. I have a wicked sense of humour.

The furniture is the right size, its the doors that are too small.

Could you imagine if your bed or settee was made out of balsa wood.
Easy to lift but probably smash the minute you lay/sat on it.

I've had exactly the same problem here - finally got it in after taking the back door off and forcing it - took a few hours though.

Your failure to be able to use a tape measure does not necessarily constitute a 'dumb idea' on the part of the manufacturer. Not all of us live in little hobbit houses with insufficient door clearance. I'd also like to point out that you appear to have just escaped from a concentration camp and I'm not surprised that you don't have the muscle to move even the most basic pieces of furniture.

I suggest that you stick with IKEA(Swedish for common sense) as you don't seem to have any of your own.

I don't think she's ready for The Fatty.

Exactly, it's the doors that are too small! I mean how are you going to make furniture smaller, it's small enough as it is, make the doors like 2 times larger!

When I moved, the removal people tried for two hours to get my piano up the stairs, with no luck (I still had to pay for it 😠). Then we discussed solutions with a lift, but I had to organize the lift myself from a music shop, and then they didn't have time to come, and I ended up asking a different company. They got the piano up the stairs without a problem. I know which company not to ask the next time I move. 😞

Sure, rub it in a little more why don't you😠

AND I'll have you know appearances can be decieving as I managed just fine thank you. 😏

Just how big does a door need to be???
Furniture should be made accordingly 😠
That can make toys that transform from vehicles into robatos and they can't make a couch any easier to fit through a door?

Stupid handrails don't help either. 😠

No, you're not funny. Wicked I believe but funny I'm not buying.
