Swyft sofa in a box review: 'It took 5 minutes to assemble and fit into my tiny flat'
Share:
As a Londoner, I'm used to making a yearly (or so) move to a different apartment. I'm forever on a pursuit to escape noisy neighbours, loud traffic and stingy landlords, however, the most recent flat I've moved into is one I plan on occupying for years to come. The only problem? It has a tiny front door and it's up two flights of narrow stairs. Oh, it's also located conveniently on a red traffic route.
Apart from that, I promise you it's pretty perfect. I managed to build my bed and my wardrobes in here, meaning they didn't have to fit through the front door, but there was one item I couldn't get upstairs to my living room, no matter what model I ordered or which company was delivering: a sofa. I've lived here for 6 months now and I've had delivery men turn up with sofas only for them to have to pack them back into their trucks when they realise a full sofa wasn't about to fit through my door or up my narrow staircase.
I sadly watched them cart off my lovely sofas while I went back to sitting on the floor or on a small armchair, resigned to the fact I may never get a comfy two-seater to sit on in here. I say this all in the past tense because I have indeed found a solution, and it's Swyft's 'sofa in a box'.

I was recommended them by a friend who found herself in a similar conundrum, and I immediately was hopeful when I saw Swyft's USP. The brand believes you shouldn't have to wait weeks for delivery (perfect). It believes your furniture should fit, no matter how many flights of stairs or tight doorways you have to get through (YES). And it believes in great design that's thoughtful, comfortable and that will last a lifetime (perfect, because my 6ft4 boyfriend loves lounging on a comfy couch).
