I CC-O ed my den with a sofa – meaning I C leared C lutter and O rganized my den with a sofa. The den was too full of stuff. I’ve said it often that I have too much stuff. So I bought a new sofa. (Truth – I have been wanting a sectional for a long time.)
I ordered my sofa from Home Reserve after a lot of research. First, I ordered 9 fabric samples, just to be clear on the color and quality. Then I ordered an armless chair (one section of a sofa), which was free for 60 days. If I decided I didn’t like it for any reason, I could ship it back at the company’s expense. It didn’t take too long to decide that I wanted this sofa.
A company representative emailed me to see if I had any questions and how she could help. So, I sent her pictures of my room and described what I was looking for. She responded with a diagram of the sofa I described and all the pieces I needed. When I approved that, she created an order for me to review, and all I had to do was submit the order.
Once Home Reserve received my order, they began the manufacturing process and I was informed all along the way about its progress. Within 2 weeks, I had my sofa – or I had 7 boxes! They said all boxes were designed to fit in doorways and be manageable for 1-2 persons to move them.
My husband and I unboxed them one at a time and assembled each box before moving on to the next one. The boxes were labeled with contents and which to open first for the instructions. Each box included the frame, cushions, fabric covers, and hardware needed. Instructions were in one booklet. They were surprisingly easy to read and assembly was ingenious.
After 3 days of working a few hours at a time (after all, we’re in our 70’s!), we had a sofa. And we did it all by ourselves.
And you can check out the steps to assemble our new sofa below!
So, what do you think?
We expected needing to call in some help. But, in the words of our son when he was about 3 years old, “I do it all my byself”. And so we did!
