Based on general knowledge, as the provided search context was not relevant to the question, separating a sectional couch is typically a straightforward process once you identify the connection mechanism. The first step is to determine how the individual pieces of your couch are held together. Look for the seams where the sections meet and feel along the front, back, and underside of the couch in these areas.
The most common connection method involves interlocking metal brackets. Often, one section will have a V-shaped or post-like metal bracket, while the adjoining section has a corresponding female bracket that it slides into. To separate these, you typically need to lift one of the sections straight up a few inches to disengage the lock. It is highly recommended to have a second person assist you, with one person at the front and one at the back of the piece you are lifting. This ensures an even lift and prevents damage to the connectors or the frame.
In some cases, the sections may be secured with bolts or large screws, usually accessible from underneath the couch. If this is the case, you will need the appropriate tool, such as a wrench or screwdriver, to unfasten them. Carefully tilt a section back to get a clear view of the hardware. Less commonly, some modern or modular sectionals are held together simply by friction and their own weight, without any physical connectors. For this type, you can simply pull the sections apart horizontally.
Before you begin, it is wise to remove all cushions to make the pieces lighter and to get a better view of the connection points. Also, be mindful of your flooring; placing a blanket or cardboard underneath can prevent scratches as you move the heavy pieces. Always use steady, even pressure rather than forceful yanking to avoid damaging the upholstery or the internal frame of the couch.
