Well, it seems the provided context is the standard YouTube footer, which is about as helpful for taking apart a sofa as a chocolate fireguard. Unless you plan on reading the terms and conditions to your furniture until it disassembles itself out of sheer boredom, we'll have to rely on some general wisdom for this noble quest.
Tackling a DFS recliner sofa is often a puzzle designed by someone who enjoys a good chuckle at our expense. Your first move is to scout the back of the sofa. Feel around the lower portion of each backrest, particularly along the seams where it meets the main base. You're searching for hidden levers or clips, often concealed beneath a flap of fabric secured by Velcro. It's like a secret handshake with your furniture. Once you find these elusive levers—one on each side of the backrest—pull them up or outwards. With the levers released, you and a trusty sidekick should be able to lift the entire back section straight up and off its metal runners.
With the backs liberated, the base is your next challenge. The main seating sections are usually connected to each other with a type of metal bracket, sometimes called an alligator clip. To separate them, you'll typically need to lift one section slightly higher than the other and then pull them apart. This may require some heroic grunting and a bit of wiggling. If you have a center console, it likely slides off using the same type of runners as the backrests, so check for any connecting bolts at the bottom before you start heaving.
Finally, the feet are usually the easiest part. Most simply screw on and off by hand. After all that, you should be left with a collection of manageable pieces, ready for their journey through that impossibly narrow doorway. Reassembly is, in theory, just the reverse, but we all know how that usually goes. Good luck, brave adventurer.
