You would think all these shops would make sofas the size of a

STANDARD FRONT DOOR :-( :-(

That would involve common sense though Joy :-0

I am another who still worries about my grown up daughters......it comes with the job :-D

When I was working I was in a house. it was one of those where the door opens on to a passage with a door at the end into a back room and a door at right angles to that into the front room.

There was a sofa in the back room that they were going to have recovered and the upholsterer was there with his wife to do an estimate. I heard the people say that they had wanted the sofa to go in the front room but couldn't get it in there because the corner was too tight.

The upholsterer said he could soon sort that out. He and his wife picked up the sofa, went wiggle, wiggle, wiggle with it and there it was, in the front room!

Respect my man, respect!

Well, she has decided to have the window taken out and they will deliver the suite tomorrow through the window. It is costing her £400, I can see her point, the suite was way over £2000 so she feels it is worth it to her to alleviate the stress. She thinks (and I agree) that she would always be thinking she had got second best if she re-ordered. Good job she is still contract working and can afford it.

Ann,,there is your solution for her christmas pressie,,,,,,,,a tape measure,,,,,next time shes buying big items she will know what size is the limit........... ;-) :-D :-D

Kay, I wouldn't dare. She'd say "Mother I am 54!!" But to be honest I don't think it would have occurred to me to check if it would go through the door, we did measure that it would go in the lounge ok. Yes, We were with her when she first looked at it. :-D

My sofa was a 'construct it yourself' IKEA number. No problem.

For some reason, friend and I couldn't get the old sofa out (yet it must have come in), so it was sawed up! Made it easier to fit into the car, for the trip to the dump :-D

Glad the suite will soon be in it's new home Ann, hope your daughter will love it when she sees it in place? Won't the company go halves as they didn't make sure your daughter knew it was a problem size suite? Would be a nice gesture especially considering the amount your daughter is spending?
