So is that a no to considering going via the window? Got a pic of the window? Is it UPVC or a wooden sash?

cant go in via window its not a single large pane got smaller windows in it that open type.
considered cutting the staircase rails but then found out its gonna cost a lot more to put back together.

Did you buy it mail order / over the internet? Then send it back under the Distance Selling Rules.

Ask Father Christmas to get it down your chimney!

Tried getting it in from chasing up the ceiling /under the floor? (I jest just thinking of novel ways now as imagine you've tried it all!)

Do you have any side access / french doors?
I'm sure if you did, you'd have thought to try this though...

jpaul · 24 Mar 2018 at 22:38

you've rung scs to find out if they have instructions on how to dismantle it ?

otherwise

Modern sofas are ridiculous the sizes are all wrong the number of people I know who have sofas far to big for the rooms in the house is mental but it seems that is all that is sold these days!

Update?
Is it in yet? (that's what she said.....sadly.)

Should have bought deckchairs or took precise measurements before ordering.

koolpc · 25 Mar 2018 at 11:14

Should have gone to specsavers! Lol

Still not sure why you want to pay £600 to have someone disassemble it... Vs my suggestion of cutting your bannister off at 45s.

I guess you also need to consider what you're going to do when you leave. £600 in and £600 out?

I read stuff like this post, and then wonder if that company is still giving away one way tickets to mars!!!

looks like their contract allows cancellation , especially if it is still wrapped

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Products supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. Please be aware in particular that an upholstered furniture Product (such as sofas etc) will probably lose 40-50% of its value when used, but we will limit the deduction to 25% of the purchase price for an upholstered furniture Product returned to us in a used condition.

maybe the best compromise

A Height

95.0 cm
B Width 224.0 cm
C Depth 97.0 cm
E Seat Height 48.0 cm
F Seat Depth 57.0 cm
G Arm Height 67.0 cm

(have sofas been getting bigger anyway - with population size)

We don't all sit on the same sofa

generally the delivery guys are experts at angles as they deliver so many of these things!...we used to have problems, but thankfully double doors to new extension then double doors to exterior mean these issues are consigned to history

Saw it in half and worry about putting it back together once it's back through the door?

I started replying to you saying that clearance value doesnt apply here because length (dimension B) is larger than the height of his door frame but thinking about it, that's a useful measurement. If his door frame is narrower than 91cm, it'll never fit in without dismantling. If it's wider than 91cm, there might be a way to rotate it to fit it through.
