Will sofas fit in stairwells or lifts? 

When it comes to purchasing a new sofa, one of the most important considerations is whether or not it will fit into your home. This is especially true if you live in a multi-story building with limited access, such as a lift or stairwell. In this case, it is essential to measure not only the dimensions of the sofa itself but also the dimensions of the lift or stairwell to ensure that everything will fit together properly. 

To measure a lift or stairwell, you will need a measuring tape, a pencil, and a piece of paper. Start by measuring the width of the lift or stairwell, being sure to include any handrails or other protrusions that may be present. Next, measure the height, taking into account the height of any railings or other obstacles that may be present. Finally, measure the depth, being sure to take into account any steps or other changes in level that may be present. 

It’s important to note that most sofas are delivered in pieces, so you will also need to check the measurements of the sofa pieces and check that they can fit through the lift or stairwell, or into the room where you want them to be assembled. When it comes to measurement, it’s always a good idea to add a little extra buffer space, in case of any unexpected obstacles. 

It’s also worth keeping in mind that if the sofa won’t fit through the lift or stairwell, or in the room where you want it to be assembled, it may still be possible to get it into your home through an alternate route such as a window or balcony. In some cases, it may be possible to disassemble the sofa and reassemble it once it’s inside your home. 

It’s also important to check with the manufacturer or delivery company if they offer assembly services because they will be the ones who will be transporting the product and can give you more information about the delivery process. 

It’s always better to be safe than sorry, and by taking the time to measure your lift or stairwell, you can ensure that your new sofa will fit comfortably into your home.
