We want your Sofatica sofa experience to be as smooth and stress-free as possible from start to finish. So, whether you’re expecting a fully assembled sofa or just a little setup, we’ve got you covered. This article will explain what to expect when your sofa arrives, including whether any assembly is required, what tools you may need, and how our professional setup service works.

Types of Sofa Assembly

Depending on your model, your sofa will arrive in one of the following ways:

  1. Fully Assembled

    • Ready to Use: These sofas come fully assembled, so you can start enjoying your new sofa right away.

    • White-Glove Service: If you’ve chosen this service, the delivery team will bring your sofa into your home, place it in the room of your choice, and remove all packaging.

    • No tools or setup are needed on your part.

  2. Light Assembly Required

    • Simple Setup: For some models, you’ll need to complete a few minor assembly tasks, such as:

      • Attaching legs or feet

      • Connecting modular pieces (like L-shaped sections or chaise lounges)

      • Securing backrests or cushions with built-in locks or brackets

    • These tasks are easy to complete and usually require minimal tools (which may be included).

    • Estimated Setup Time: 10–30 minutes

  3. Flat-Packed or Modular Sofas

    • More Detailed Setup: For space-saving or modular designs, your sofa will come in multiple pieces. These setups may involve:

      • Aligning frames

      • Securing hardware

      • Layering cushions or covers

    • A printed instruction manual will be included, and our team is always available if you need assistance.

What Tools Are Needed?

  • No Tools Needed: Most Sofatica sofas don’t require any tools for assembly.

  • Tools Included: If your sofa needs tools, they’ll likely be provided in the package (e.g., Allen wrench).

  • Optional Tool: Having a basic screwdriver on hand might be helpful, just in case.

Professional Assembly & Setup Options

If you’d prefer a completely hands-off experience, we offer White-Glove Delivery, which includes:

  • In-home Placement: We’ll place your sofa exactly where you want it.

  • Basic Assembly/Setup: Tasks like attaching legs or connecting sections will be handled for you.

  • Packaging Removal: All packaging materials will be removed for you, leaving your space neat and tidy.

Note: Availability and pricing of White-Glove Delivery vary by ZIP code and will be shown during checkout.

Things to Prepare Before Assembly

To make your sofa setup as smooth as possible, here’s what you should do beforehand:

  • Measure Your Space: Ensure that your new sofa fits through doorways, hallways, and any tight spaces.

  • Clear the Area: Make sure the space where your sofa will go is free of obstacles.

  • Protect Your Floors: Use rugs, sliders, or padding to protect your floors during the setup process.

  • Keep Pets and Children Away: For safety reasons, it’s best to keep little ones and pets out during setup.
