We are planning to purchase a sofa (reclining - Dimensions 88"W x 40"D x 40"H)

Our Door is 31 inches wide, will the sofa fit through the door?

Thanks In advance

Answer
Hello Madhu,

Normally I would say that this sofa is too large to get through a 31" door width. I checked on the photo link you sent me and enlarged a picture of the sofa. It seems that this is the type of sofa that separates into 3 individual pieces. Some manufactuers make it possible for this to happen by bolting each unit on a set of rails under the sofa. To be sure, I would contact customer service and see if this feature is on this sofa. If it is, the units will fit through even if they have to recline each piece first and tip it on its side to get through. If the sofa has to stay in one piece, it will be to large to angle through.

Let me know what you find out and keep me posted

Harry
