How To Disassemble Recliner Couch

When it comes time to move house or simply give your furniture a refresh, knowing how to disassemble a recliner couch can be a valuable skill. While the process may seem daunting at first, it can be broken down into a series of simple steps. With a bit of patience and the right tools, you can disassemble your recliner couch in no time.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before you begin, you will need to gather the following tools:

Phillips head screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Allen wrench set
Socket wrench set
Tape measure or ruler
Marker or pencil

Step 2: Remove the Back Cushions

Start by removing the back cushions. On most recliner couches, the back cushions are held in place by Velcro or zippers. Simply unfasten the Velcro or unzip the cushions and remove them.

Step 3: Remove the Seat Cushions

Next, remove the seat cushions. Seat cushions are typically held in place by clips or screws. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the clips or a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws. Once the clips or screws are removed, lift the seat cushions out of the frame.

Step 4: Remove the Armrests

The armrests are typically held in place by screws or bolts. Use a Phillips head screwdriver or a socket wrench to remove the screws or bolts. Once the screws or bolts are removed, lift the armrests off of the frame.

Step 5: Remove the Reclining Mechanism

The reclining mechanism is what allows the recliner to recline. It is typically located underneath the seat. Use a Phillips head screwdriver or a socket wrench to remove the screws or bolts that hold the reclining mechanism in place. Once the screws or bolts are removed, carefully lift the reclining mechanism out of the frame.

Step 6: Disassemble the Frame

The frame is the main support structure of the recliner couch. It is typically made of wood or metal. Use a Phillips head screwdriver or a socket wrench to remove the screws or bolts that hold the frame together. Once the screws or bolts are removed, carefully disassemble the frame.

Step 7: Reassemble the Recliner Couch

Once you have disassembled the recliner couch, you can reassemble it in the reverse order. Be sure to tighten all of the screws or bolts securely. Once the recliner couch is reassembled, test it out to make sure it is working properly.
