our only complaint is it isn’t henredon comfortable…but it actually fit!

good luck.. i know what a pain it is to live somewhere with sofa-unfriendly size hallways and doorways.

It ships with the legs off. Without the legs, it's only 22" from bottom of the seat to top of the back. It's by American Leather and surprisingly comfortable. We have it and really like it. <br/><br/>Just looking at their site...the Havana sofa looks like it would work too and it has storage under the seat plus folds down into a bed for overnight guests. You have to like the solid-to-the-ground look though. With the back down, the arms are the highest point and they're only 20.5". <br/><br/>Have you looked at Gus Modern? If you can wait, they usually show at ICFF. <br/><br/>Good luck! The Theatre Sofa from DWR is similar to what you have pictured. It ships with the legs off.

It's the brown Andre sofa from Room & Board. I had 30" hallway to deal with, the andre's legs come off. It's one of the very few couches from R&B that do this. i actually have the one piictured in the top photo. It’s the brown Andre sofa from Room & Board.

At least, that's how my bed arrived-- in 6 pieces. I would check with them. I think room and board delivers the product in pieces and then assembles it in your living room.
