When I moved into my current place, it came with a sofa. This thing is ancient, green, leather, and all out horrific. It’s like someone from the 70s designed something with a teenager from the early 80s. But it was comfortable originally. After many years of use, and abuse, the legs have come off – quite literally. Not to mention I’ve gotten tired of the color.
I decided to treat myself, and I went couch shopping! After much deliberation I found a good couch at a decent price, I measured it, and it was smaller than standard doors. Perfect. It would get in my place. It would be fine.
I craigslisted my old couch (free). And went to pick up the new one. HURRAY! We get it home, and that’s when trouble strikes.
It won’t go in the front door. Or the back door.
Or any window.
My house has smaller than standard doors.
Soooo anyone need a sofa?!
Right now, as the sofa will not fit in any of my house’s doors, it’s sat on my deck, under a tarp protected against the elements. I’ve put it on Craigslist. My only hope is to sell my new sofa, and to buy a new-new sofa. Right now, I’m using pillows for seats in my living room.
It’s been a learning experience. Mostly: never let me buy furniture.
Ack! The furniture store won’t take it back for an exchange? Sigh… The old green behemoth looks bigger. Makes me wonder if they hauled it up to your deck with a rope and then muscled it through your sliding glass door (if I recall correctly and am not mixed up with another friend’s photos, you have one of those – there’s a barbecue grill outside that sliding glass door). I hope you get a new sofa inside soon! *hugs*
I don’t have a sliding glass door, unfortunately. Currently the new sofa is on the deck.
drat! I still think the green monster looks enormous. how did they get it inside???
Lots of pivoting. Not entirely sure.
