Reminds me of my own hilarious large furniture movements. Someone bought a love seat for the home I reside in, didn’t bother measuring anything, and asked me to retrieve it from the store. A very kind gentleman was paid to bring it from the store to the outside of the house. I took one look at the love seat, one look at the door, and asked him to kindly leave because he didn’t want to be any part of the process of getting it inside.

I ultimately took a circular saw to the back of the love seat and later reattached it and stapled the fabric back on.

Omigod. That’s extreme.

It had a weird stylistic hump in the center that was the major cause of the problem. I was fully aware upon a handful of measurements that there wasn’t even a chance it was going to fit. My cut was only enough of the back to get it through the door. I realized upon rereading I made it sound like I removed the whole thing.

Even now, 5 years later you can’t tell it was operated on unless you take a good look at the back of it.

I just wonder if you’ll settle into it one day and it’ll just come apart.

…(Homeowner) Luke says he refused to sign the delivery forms after it was suggested he cut off his bannisters…

That customer sounds insufferable. Might well be the fault of the company but him going on about how much his house cost (and the sofa) makes him sound like a right tosspot.

It’s not much of a brag, he probably doesn’t have any cash for repairs.

Also they approached the staircase wrong, you put the top side down so that you can cup around obstacles.

I would guess, homeowner Luke is ok moneywise. If that couples photo on the website is his home… a brief analysis… correlation of christmas tree and miniskirt suggest an indoor temp of +72’F; an animal skin rug is under the dinning table (expensive choice); and the couple are likely childless (displayed book titled “Creatures With Cocks”).

That’s on a assumption it is his home. Still, how and why Mr. Luke resorted to get the delivery guy to heave-ho-ing; it comically should’ve never come to that.

This is why it can be easy to find a free piano. You can take it if you can take it.

Why anyone pays for a piano is beyond me. If you’ll take it out of someone’s house they’ll gladly hand it to you. The very great musician Neko Case made a piano orchestra out of several free pianos she put in her barn to record with.

Wow! A math meme! Is this the 3d version of the unsolved moving sofa problem?

Why is it unsolved, it totally looks like you’ve solved it there.

The question is what is the biggest couch. That’s a non optimal solution on the gif, there are bigger couches which can fit

It’s also mentioned on the wiki page, I’m astonished it could be solved finally, lets wait for the reviews!
