Firstly, apologies if this has been done to death but I have been worried about this since last week and getting quite stressed about the whole thing.
I've just moved into an unfurnished first floor flat and ordered a sofa and chair from DFS. It was delivered last week and the delivery men told me under no circumstances that it was too tall to go in the flat if they upended it. They were quite intimidating about the whole thing so I just accepted this and let them leave but they didn't really seem to try and the whole thing (from them getting out of the van to leaving in the van) took 15 minutes so it didn't really feel like they had made any effort. I then remeasured the hall and there is enough clearance so called DFS and asked for it to be redelivered with a more experienced team and it is coming on Tuesday.
My only worry is now that it isn't going to fit due to the width of the sofa vs the space it has to go up. The height of my ceiling is 2m65 an the height of the sofa is 2m24 but the doorway is only 1m95. The width of the sofa is 100cm but the space between the door and the wall (stairs are directly on the left) is only 80cm so the idea that they will bring it in through the first door, down the hall and in through the second on its side and then upend it wont work as when they upend it it will be the width they are dealing with which is 20cm more than the space I have. Am i worrying over nothing or is this genuinely not going to fit? My idea would be that as they were upending it they could try and twist it at the same time so eventually when it was upended it would be so that it would be the height they were deal with rather than the width but I don't know if this is possible..
Any advice would be great, sorry for the long post, just very stressed and hormonal and don't know what I'll do if it doesn't fit as DFS have said no refunds :(
