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? |

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 |

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. |

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. |

Merlin, yes she has double glazing, not sure how it is affected because the window is a bow but the shop are supposed to be getting somebody to look at that possibility. |

Anne, If her Bungalow has Double Glasing, would it not be possible to get the furniture through the windows,(Its easy to take out and put back, Might be worth exploring this. Take care, **M**. :-D |

Apparently it is the front door that it won't go through, they only tried the 2 seater. |

It seems that furniture these days, especially sofas, is huge - deeper and longer often with very large arms. We had 2 new ones last year and brought them through the conservatory as we don't have a hall, just a 'snicket', and it's a tight turn. I deliberately chose 'less large' ones but they're still quite big! |

Liz :-) I am sure he would be for a joke trying to put a spoke in the works. She can afford expensive but always remarks that she doesn't now have the voice of reason telling her she can't afford it. When it is solved I will mention it. |

You never do stop worrying about them do you. Your poor daughter has had enough to cope with lately. I hope it gets sorted out for her. |

Ann you have made me think, D has a new suite ordered since we moved out, all our stuff was put in through the back door, so I will tell her to enquire if she will have the same trouble as your daughter.she has our old two seats until it comes. |

We have a sort of dogleg from the front of the house to the back ............. the dining room leads into a very small square hall and then there is an immediate right turn into the kitchen and through to the back. Any furniture basically has to be tipped on its end from the dining room into the hall, then turned around 180 degrees and slowly tipped over again to be got round that dog leg. |

Hope this problem gets sorted, Ann. Maybe your daughter can laugh about it later on? |

She has to wait until Thursday when the salesman is next in to see what is happening. It was the delivery men who told her she should have been warned about needing a double door. The shop offered a refund minus a restock charge, she turned that down. |
