Sofas and Sectionals Covered
Some sofas arrive as a simple frame with legs, while modular sectionals can include several seat units, arms, backs, corner pieces and connectors. Sleeper and recliner products can add mechanisms and low-voltage wiring that make orientation and room access more important.
This service is for the seating product itself. General furniture assembly remains available for simpler mixed furniture projects, while massage chairs have their own service due to powered components and specialized setup.
Room Access and Final Orientation
Choose the final orientation before assembling a large sectional. A completed sofa may not fit through the doorway it arrived through as separate modules, and reversing a chaise or corner section after assembly can require disconnecting several pieces.
Measure narrow doors, stairs and hallway turns when the sofa is large. Clear the room enough to lay out modules in their final approximate positions so connectors and left/right arms are not installed on the wrong side.
Frames, Legs, Arms and Backs
Main frames should be supported while legs, arms and backs are attached so fasteners enter squarely. Some flat-pack sofas use slide-in back brackets or hidden bolts that only align when the base is fully seated and level.
Do not use bolts to pull bent frames or misaligned brackets together. Shipping damage should be documented before fabric or trim is stretched around a distorted part, because forcing the assembly can create a problem that is harder to return or replace.
Sectional Connectors and Modules
Sectional modules may connect with hooks, clips, brackets or alignment plates. The pieces should sit level with matching seat heights before connectors are fully engaged. Rugs and floor transitions can affect alignment if one module sits higher than another.
Modular products often allow several configurations, but not every model is reversible. The product diagram should be checked before assembly so the customer receives the intended chaise or corner orientation rather than an improvised layout.
Sleeper and Recliner Components
Sleeper sofas may include folded bed mechanisms, while recliners can have pull handles, linkages or powered cables. These components should be checked only through their normal manufacturer operation after the main seating frame is stable.
Powered recliners can receive external connector and power-up checks, but internal motor or control repair is outside ordinary assembly. Adequate wall clearance should also be maintained so a reclining back does not strike the wall during normal use.
FAQ
Can a sectional be configured either direction?
Only if the model is designed to be reversible; the product instructions should determine orientation.
Does assembly include powered recliner repair?
No. Normal connections and startup checks are included, not internal repair.
Should I choose the final room first?
Yes, because a fully assembled sofa may be much harder to move through doors and stairs.
