The American sofa is a seat design style. Its shape has the characteristics of retro and modern simplicity, and is very suitable for placement in the family living room. However, due to its large size, installation may require some skills. Below, we will introduce to you how to install an American sofa upstairs.
1. Measure the Stair Width and Sofa Size
The first thing to do is to make sure your sofa can safely pass through the stairs. Measure the width of the stairs and the dimensions of the sofa. This can help you determine if your sofa is suitable for upstairs use.
2. Break down the sofa
If your sofa is too large to safely pass up the stairs, you will need to break it into smaller parts. Typically, sofas are split into a base, backrest, and armrests. Make sure you have all the necessary tools and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer or the recommendations of your professional furniture installer.
3. Prepare installation tools
The tools required to install an American sofa usually include screwdrivers, wrenches, screws and interface boards. These tools are very simple to use and can often be found in home tool boxes.
4. Install the sofa base, backrest and armrests separately
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and install the different parts of the sofa together. First, secure the base to the floor or carpet, then attach the backrest to the base. Finally, secure the armrests between the base and backrest.
5. Move the sofa upstairs
Move the different parts of the sofa upstairs separately, and operate carefully at the turns of the stairs to avoid damaging the stairs or the sofa.
6. Perform final installation
After moving the sofa to the target location, connect the bases together and connect the backrest and armrests. Finally, attach the cushions and throw pillows to the sofa.
In general, installing an American sofa requires some skills, but if you follow the manufacturer's instructions, you shouldn't run into too many problems. If you have no experience or are not sure you can handle the task yourself, consider hiring a professional to complete the installation.
