I actually ordered a couch from Divon (www.divon.com) through a local dealer precisely because they are designed to be disassembled and reassembled. The delivery person, however, fussed at me about the fact that he did indeed have to take the thing apart to get it through my door and was even going to try to charge me extra until the store owner got on the phone and told him to cool it. In any case, I now have a 90-inch sleeper sofa with nicely curved arms in a lion-colored gold/brown cheneille - first step in filling my new, nearly empty apartment....
The guy on the left in the first sofa picture looks like Vincent D'Onofrio from Law and Order - Criminal Intent
