Why is furniture disassembly and reassembly necessary in NYC apartments?

Most New York City apartments, especially in Manhattan, have narrow doorways, tight hallways, and compact layouts. Large furniture like sofas and wall units often can't fit through these spaces unless they are professionally disassembled and reassembled once inside.

What types of furniture does Dr. Sofa disassemble and reassemble in NYC?

Dr. Sofa handles a wide range of furniture, including sofas, sofabeds, armoires, wall units, dressers, headboards, and even custom or branded items from companies like Restoration Hardware, Ethan Allen, and Crate & Barrel.

Can I disassemble and reassemble a sofa by myself, or should I call a professional?

While it is possible to do it yourself using tools and a guide, DIY disassembly can be risky if you're inexperienced. Damage to upholstery, broken brackets, or missing parts can occur. Calling a professional like Dr. Sofa ensures a safer and quicker solution, especially for large or high-end furniture.

What is involved in disassembling a corner or sectional sofa?

Disassembling a corner sofa involves removing cushions, upholstery, brackets, sidewalls, tightening bars, and seat parts. In modern designs, only the laundry box may need disassembly. If components are hidden or hard to access, professionals are recommended to avoid damage.
