Use this checklist before you choose, move or care for a pre-owned sofa. It focuses on the practical details that prevent avoidable surprises.
What to check
- Compare the sofa's smallest transport orientation with the narrowest point on the full access route.
- Measure the narrowest doorway and note whether the door can be removed safely if extra clearance is needed.
- Check hallways, stair landings, lift openings and corners at the sofa's full width and height.
- Clear the route, protect floors and tell us about stairs, lifts, parking or restricted access before delivery.
- Keep your phone nearby on delivery day so access questions can be resolved quickly.
Before you decide
Keep the sofa's exact measurements, the full access route and the disclosed condition together when comparing options. Photos help, but an in-person inspection is the best way to judge comfort and confirm that the sofa suits your space.
