Question 1

Can you move a sectional sofa in one piece?

Accepted Answer

No. Sectional sofas are designed to separate into individual sections. Always disassemble before moving — each piece is typically 55-60 inches wide and will fit through most doorways when tilted.

Question 2

How many pieces does a typical sectional have?

Accepted Answer

Most L-shaped sectionals have 2-3 pieces, while U-shaped sectionals may have 4-5. Modular sectionals can have 5-8 individual pieces that are easier to move.

Question 3

What is the smallest doorway a sectional piece will fit through?

Accepted Answer

Individual sectional pieces (about 55-60 inches wide, 33 inches tall, 35 inches deep) can usually fit through a 30-inch doorway when tilted on their side. The diagonal depth is the critical measurement.

Question 4

How heavy is a sectional sofa?

Accepted Answer

A full sectional weighs 250-450 pounds total. Individual sections typically weigh 80-150 pounds each, making them manageable for two people.
