Assembling a sofa

Assembling a Sofa, Done Properly

A new sofa should be the start of comfort, not an evening spent wrestling with bolts, brackets, and confusing diagrams. Our sofa assembly service takes the stress out of setup, whether your sofa arrives in multiple boxes, has a pull out mechanism, or needs careful alignment to sit level and feel solid. We arrive with the right tools, follow the manufacturer instructions, and leave you with a sturdy, safe, ready to use piece.

We assemble all common sofa types, including compact two seaters, large corner sofas, modular sectionals, sofa beds, recliners, and sofas with storage. If your delivery includes multiple modules, legs, headrests, arms, and connector plates, we handle the full build and check that everything locks into place as intended. When you need help beyond the sofa, you can also book furniture assembly services for other items in the same visit.

What We Assemble and How We Work

Sofa types and common configurations

Modern sofas vary a lot in design. Some arrive mostly pre built, while others are fully flat pack and require a complete frame build before upholstery sections can be attached. We assemble modular and sectional sofas with multiple connecting points, chaise lounges with reversible sides, and corner units that must be positioned precisely for a neat fit. We also assemble sofa beds and recliner sofas, where hinges and moving parts need correct tension and clearance.

We check that fasteners are matched to the correct holes, that brackets sit flush, and that modules connect without gaps. If the sofa includes adjustable feet or extra support legs, we set them properly so weight is evenly distributed. The goal is simple, your sofa should feel stable, sit square, and stay quiet without wobbles or creaks.

Tools, care, and clean handling

We bring professional tools for accurate fastening and safe handling. This includes the right drivers, hex keys, torque controlled tools where appropriate, and protective pads to avoid marks on fabric, leather, and flooring. We keep packaging under control to prevent scratches and lost hardware, and we work methodically so parts are never forced into place.

If your sofa is heavy or awkward to move, we plan the build location first. That reduces the risk of damage to walls, door frames, and the sofa itself. We can also advise on the best placement for walkways, radiator clearance, and access to recline or bed functions.

Before We Arrive, Simple Steps That Save Time

You do not need to prepare much, but a few quick checks help the appointment run smoothly. Please ensure the boxes are inside the home if possible, and clear a working area near the final location of the sofa. If you live in an apartment, confirm lift access or note tight stair turns so we can plan safe handling.

It also helps to keep the instruction manual and all hardware packs together. If you have ordered matching pieces, like an ottoman or a footstool, mention it when booking so we can allocate enough time. For larger projects, our professional furniture assembly options can cover multiple rooms in one visit.

• Clear a space for assembly, ideally close to where the sofa will stay.
• Keep screws, brackets, legs, and connectors in their labeled bags.
• Let us know about narrow hallways, sharp corners, or parking restrictions.
• Tell us if the sofa includes a bed mechanism or electrical features.

Quality Checks and Aftercare

Assembly is not finished until the sofa is tested. We check alignment across modules, confirm legs are secure, and verify that the sofa sits level. For sofa beds and recliners, we open and close the mechanism to ensure smooth movement and correct locking. If the sofa includes removable covers, we ensure they are fitted neatly and not trapped under frames or brackets.

If you later notice a slight wobble or a connector loosening after the sofa settles into place, we can help with adjustments. Many stability issues are solved by re checking connectors, retightening fasteners, or leveling feet. If you need broader help with tightening and fixes, our furniture fixing services can be booked separately or alongside assembly.
