A practical guide from WeDoSofas to help you choose furniture with confidence.
What is a sofa in a box?
A sofa in a box is designed to arrive in manageable packages and be assembled at home. Depending on the model, components may include the frame, backrest, cushions and legs.
The exact packing method varies by sofa, so always check the product description for the number of boxes and the assembly steps.
Why choose a boxed sofa?
One of the biggest advantages is access. Narrow front doors, staircases and corridors can make delivery of a fully assembled sofa difficult. A boxed design may make it easier to get the furniture into the right room.
Boxed sofas can also be practical when moving house or furnishing an upstairs room. However, package weights and dimensions still matter, and lifting assistance may be required.
What to check before ordering
Compare both the assembled sofa measurements and the dimensions of every delivery package. Check your narrowest doorway, any tight turns and the space available for unpacking.
Read the assembly instructions, confirm whether tools are required, and check the seller’s delivery, returns and warranty information before you purchase.
How the Oslo sofa works
The WeDoSofas Oslo is a compact sofa-in-a-box range with a slot-in-back design intended to make assembly straightforward. It is available as a three-seater, two-seater and chair.
Approximate overall widths are 180 cm, 130 cm and 79 cm respectively, with a depth of approximately 78 cm. These measurements are helpful when planning a room, but always check the current product listing.
Make assembly easier
Clear the floor, protect delicate surfaces and unpack each component carefully. Check the parts against the instructions before assembly and avoid forcing any connectors.
Keep the packaging until you have confirmed that the sofa is complete and satisfactory, and follow the instructions for safe positioning and use.
