Not the specific apartment, mind you, just in the front door and around the stairwell's odd and narrow corners. We recently bought a good-sized couch. I don't have exact measurements, but 3 people could squeeze relatively comfortably. It wasn't unreasonably huge, but big and awkwardly-dimensioned enough that it just couldn't be shoved into the door and around our apartment building's strange corners. The delivery guy recommended couches that "come apart." I can't really figure out what he means other than buying a few sectionals. My question is are there any specific couches you can recommend that can get into a tight space because they a) come apart, b) are sectionals (if those two things are different) c) is economical space-wise even though it seats 3 people? Oh, our budget is modest. This one we got was $380 with tax. Obviously we are willing to do floor models and clearance stuff. The paradox here is that our actual apartment is huge so we can have a football field-sized couch if we could get it through the door. Are there couches that...fold? Or something? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.73350 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:21:20 -0800 couch apartment small furniture sectional sneakin http://ask.metafilter.com/60666/Help-Finding-Slipcover-for-a-Sectional-Couch I am having trouble finding slipcovers for sectional couches. Does anyone have any recommendations for places I can buy them online? We are taking delivery on a new <a href="http://www.thomasville.com/Item5079/Upholstery-Leather-Metro-Sectional.aspx" title="link to Thomasville site of the couch we bought">sectional fabric couch</a> in the middle of May and We'd like to find some casual slipcovers. We have two small dogs who we like to have access to the couch, and so we'd like to protect the couch from dirt and mud. Ideally we want something that fits the couch well, can be easily removed when we entertain or have guests over, and is machine washable.<br> <br> Does anyone make such things or should I start looking for someone locally who can custom make them? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.60666 Sun, 15 Apr 2007 14:50:27 -0800 slipcovers sectional couch terrapin
