How To Dismantle A Reclining Couch

A reclining couch is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. But if you need to move or clean your couch, you may need to dismantle it first. Here are the steps on how to dismantle a reclining couch:

1. Remove the Cushions

Start by removing all of the cushions from the couch. This will make it easier to work on the frame.

2. Locate the Release Levers

On most reclining couches, there will be release levers located on the sides or back of the couch. These levers will release the reclining mechanism.

3. Pull the Release Levers

Once you have located the release levers, pull them both at the same time. This will release the reclining mechanism and allow you to fold the couch down.

4. Fold the Couch Down

Once the reclining mechanism is released, you can fold the couch down. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

5. Remove the Back

On some couches, the back can be removed by simply lifting it up and off. On other couches, there may be screws or bolts that need to be removed first.

6. Remove the Arms

The arms can usually be removed by unscrewing the bolts that attach them to the frame.

7. Remove the Base

The base is the bottom part of the couch. It can usually be removed by unscrewing the bolts that attach it to the frame.

8. Reassemble the Couch

Once you have dismantled the couch, you can reassemble it in the reverse order. Start by attaching the base to the frame, then attach the arms, back, and cushions.
