It seems that over time the furniture has been getting bigger and bigger, but the houses that we live in are not growing accordingly.

This posses a basic problem of how to fit in the furniture and is the subject of a New York Times article in which our company Dr. Sofa was featured.

Here is an excerpt , you can read the whole article here:

Sofa stuck on a doorway

"....In some cases — particularly in New York, where doorways and elevators are narrow — big pieces bump up against simple laws of physics. Max Bar-Nahum, the director of sales and marketing at Dr. Sofa, a Bronx-based company that specializes in the dis assembly and reassembly of furniture, said he gets several calls a day from people who buy a couch or chair and discover it’s too big to deliver. The steel-frame couches made by B&B Italia and other modern designers bring him a lot of business. “You have no idea how big these sofas are,” Mr. Bar-Nahum said.

Granted, it can be hard to gauge the size of furniture in a store, where the ceilings are often high and the showrooms loft-like.
But retailers show no sign of dropping the biggest pieces from their lines, even at a time when many Americans are downsizing in response to the housing crash and recession. The median size of a new home, as of the third quarter of 2011, was 2,244 square feet, down from 2,308 square feet in 2006, said David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Homebuilders. He added that the square footage should level off at about 2,200 — a trend line that hardly screams Texas depth..."

Dr. Sofa comes from three generations of “furniture specialists”. Even at a young age, as he drew sketches and did small repairs for the family furniture business, it was clear that the Doctor was meant to work with “furniture”. As he grew older, he apprenticed in the business starting with basic carpentry, and quickly expanded to upholstery, refinishing, design and antique furniture repair.

Arriving in New York a few years ago, Dr. Sofa discovered that there are times when the “furniture” we buy and space in which we reside are not always compatible. Dr. Sofa discovered that the primary problems that can occur during a move are related to the size and fit of both the “furniture” and the apartment. It may sound obvious, but we rarely think about the fact that American furniture designers and manufacturers produce furniture for use in private homes, and not for the narrow nooks and tight corners of Manhattan apartments.

Accredited and nicknamed the “Furniture Surgeon” by his first customers, Dr. Sofa is able to offer quick and convenient solutions to the space limitations of New York apartments by disassembling the furniture and creating a smooth fit into the apartment.

Over the last year, Dr. Sofa has “disassembled” over 1000 sofas that were stuck in elevators, hallways, stairwells, doorways, streets, and living rooms across New York City and the tri-state area. Dr. Sofa offers service most days of the year, a 24 hour message center, no surprise pricing, comprehensive insurance, a well trained staff and a quality guarantee. Dr. Sofa also offers “disassembly and reassembly” service for wall units, armoires, beds, Murphy beds, etc.

As part of our natural expansion, Dr. Sofa is now offering Elite Upholstery Services, Meticulous Restorations and Amazing Custom Crafted Sofas.
