Remove the drawers.
Remove four lag bolts in the four corners of the steel frame.
If you have two strong men, you can lift it straight up and over the wooden casement that holds the drawers.
If not look on the sides of the casement for attachment screws. Look along the bottom inside the casement for more attachment screws. Get a long extension for your power driver and take the drawer slide attachments loose from the rear wall.
It is NOT possible to remove the upholstery with the couch in place. Best thing I found for removing the ten gazillion hog rings was miniature bolt cutters.
Are you going to do the couch yourself? If so I have some tricks I learned.
Richard, thanks for the tips on couch removal. Any tips or suggestions for dinette and bed removal? I will be at Ernie’s in a week to install wood floors and will need to remove couch, dinette, and bed. Thanks Mike
