How to get this bad boy out?

    Hi boardies, I'm talking about my big armchair.

    So I'm single, no boyfriend, brother and father or any male friends who live close to me to help me get this bad boy out of my bedroom and I have been trying all different ways for 15 mins now and I'm giving up. I have one male neighbour but he asked me out before so it's kinda awkward to ask him now.

    I wonder how it got it into this room at the first place🀔.It has 4 small tiny legs but they fit in. I can't take them out. Is there any service out there to call for removal furniture from bedroom to a livingroom? Any ideas?

    I can't add photo because I'm a new user.

    No boyfriend / husband and not interested when a male shows attraction.

    Calls herself "happy rabbit".......

    The imagination is running wild here......

    Laughing here... happy rabbit just wants to get her armchair out. Might go on a date this weekend and invite the man to check out the chair in my bedroom. Don't want he gets the wrong idea though.

    If a lady asked me back to hers to take a look at her bedroom after a dinner out and it didn't lead to rattling the headboard I'd be very, very disheartened.

    Can the legs be taken off?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Pick it up and turn it sideways. If it got in then it'll get out. Men aren't needed for everything.


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭Happyrabbit


    I have tried but need a saw I think.

    Maybe the house was built around the armchair.

    Done all that. That's what I thought too, how did it get in here at the first place?! Just thought a strong man would give it a big push to see if it goes through. Wish I could post a photo.

    You need two people to maneuver it possibly. Pushing won't help.

    Seriously get it close to the door, put it over on it's side(you know lying down)then kinda push the top end out the door and twist it round the opposite side that the hinges are.. And that's it WALLLLLA

    Are you selling or giving it away? Advertise that they must collect and get them to help you take it out.


    Or just set fire to it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    Put a lock on it.

    Make it smaller & lighter.

    Dismantle it with either a screwdriver, hammer, or a saw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,644 ✭✭✭Markcheese


    Depending on the house you may have to take the door off its hinges... Are you sure that the little feet on the chair don't screw off somehow?

    It's a trap !!!
    Don't any ya'all go near her.

    First it's get the chair out , thens it's paint the ceiling, could you bring them bottles to the bottle bank ,after that her mother's cooking dinner after killing a donkey.
    Then you forgot what you first arrived for and realise she has the church and hotel booked for the wedding.

    I was just thinking about that too.

    Obviously the answer is to change reality due to the interconnectedness of all things.

    Have you tried turning off the power then turning it back on again?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,249 ✭✭✭magentis


    If it's a normal sofa like chair,the back usually comes off these and are often held in place by metal clips,is the covering down the back at the bottom secured by velcro?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,647 ✭✭✭lazybones32


    Change your mindset. Don't view it as a problem but an opportunity. Maybe 20 mins of mindfulness will give you clarity and perspective?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    If you get rid of it,where will you go to cry?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭donegaLroad


    You need to put it on its side and slide it on the ground out the door so the the narrow part at the head stock goes out first. The same as in this video.

    Hi boardies, I'm talking about my big armchair.

    Did you try unscrewing the legs

    It is an abnormal sofa. There is only one big piece, you can't take arms and legs and back off.

    There are 4 legs and they are about less than a cm so it's not a huge help if I cut the legs off. There is the only way I could think of is to remove the door:(.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,856 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Hey OP do you also have a safe you can't get open? :)

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,821 ✭✭✭phill106


    try tipping it onto its side, pointing top towards door, slide top through door,
    tilting from here (OR PIVOT!) should normally do it.

    Could you just knock down a wall?


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭Happyrabbit


    Thanks for the videos, I have googled and watched videos too but there isn't any sofa like mine...

    I wonder how I can post a photo so everyone can get an idea.

    At this stage, I need to call a removal company.

    Shrinking powder ? That's on the shelf beside the magic beans in Peterson's?

    OP have taken your bra off ? Things are always simpler when not wearing a bra.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,921 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    If you hadn't called it a 'bad boy' I would have told you how to do it. I hate that expression.


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭Happyrabbit

    I have tried and I even waited for a few mins before turning it back on...:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭donegaLroad


    try this

    you will have to twist the chair narrow part first, through the door.


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭Happyrabbit


    Hey OP do you also have a safe you can't get open? :)

    I have a safe I can't get open and a missing cat😳. Any ideas?!

    I think if you tip it over forward, then pivot it to the right it should go out
