How to search for sofas that will fit into a particular stairwell?
My wife and I are in the market for a new sofa--we're looking for something higher quality than the ikea furniture we've had for years. We bought our first house this past weekend, and the house has a massive basement. We'd like to put the biggest sofa we can in the basement since the room is so large, but the stairway getting down to the basement is quite small: 29'' door frame, and a ceiling that is 52'' at its narrowest.
How can we search for sofas that will be able to make it downstairs when moved? Are there companies that allow you to filter based on this information? Should we be searching for a sofa that requires assembly? Companies that will allow us to send an order back if it doesn't fit? Looking for any tips or recommendations that will help us get something big and comfy in our space. (We're in NW Chicago suburbs if there are local places you'd recommend.)
