More bad luck with couches! Mon, Jan 16. 2012

... Don't worry, it's not what you think. My right hand is fine. And pedantically-speaking, it's a loveseat, not a couch.
However, it has broken my heart; after a weekend of relentless shopping, I bought the loveseat pictured here on the left. It has the perfect level of cushy firmness, it's a great size and the colour really works with my room.

Unfortunately, while I was smart enough to measure if it would fit up the stairs of my house, I wasn't forward-thinking enough to check if it would fit through the door of my bedroom: It doesn't :-(

I've already got two couches in my living room, I certainly didn't want a loveseat down there either. I have a huge bedroom and a perfect place for it... sadly it seems the only way it'll come in is if the door & casing are removed! (Granted, there've been discussions about replacing the door...)

Anyone want to buy a brand new loveseat? I'm so sad about it :-(

Can't fit it in through the balcony door? Then you just need to get it onto your balcony.

That doesn't make any sense.

Taking the door off is fairly easy (well, it is if you have working hands, anyway :-) ) and taking the jamb off isn't much harder with a small prybar or flat-blade screwdriver.
The big question is whether that would increase the width enough: the jamb and top framing probably only add another 2" maximum...
