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.

Custom Curved Banquette for 2 Spring Restaurant in Oyster Bay, NY

Custom Curved Banquette for 2 Spring Restaurant, Oyster Bay, NY

Project by Sugar House AIA
Location: 2 Spring Restaurant, Oyster Bay, NY
In collaboration with Dr. Sofa® – Custom Furniture Solutions

At Dr. Sofa®, we had the pleasure of working with Sugar House AIA on a standout custom furniture project for the charming 2 Spring Restaurant in Oyster Bay, New York. The task: create a gracefully curved, handcrafted banquette that perfectly complements the restaurant’s inviting ambiance and meets the demands of daily hospitality use.

Understanding the Vision

Drwaing Every great design starts with listening. Our team collaborated closely with the architect and interior designer to understand the space’s layout, seating needs, and aesthetic goals. Using precise site measurements and advanced CAD renderings, we mapped out a custom curvature that would both flow naturally and feel right at home within the restaurant’s layout.

Crafting the Curve

Our skilled craftsmen began the build using high-grade wood, shaping each segment of the banquette frame with precision and care. From the initial framing to the secure joinery and reinforcement, every detail was handled in-house to ensure strength and a seamless, sculptural finish.

A Lasting Impression

The finished piece is more than just furniture—it’s a centerpiece. Designed to provide comfort, style, and structural durability, this curved banquette is now ready for custom upholstery and daily use by diners at one of Long Island’s finest establishments.

Transforming Spaces with Custom Solutions

This project is a prime example of how Dr. Sofa® turns bold design concepts into functional, real-world results. Whether you’re furnishing a luxury restaurant, boutique hotel, or private residence, our custom furniture services are built around your vision.
