Direct Answer
Premium Italian-design sofas in India typically arrive with legs unattached (screwed on at delivery in 15-20 minutes) and wrapped in protective packaging. The main frame arrives in one piece for most single and 2-seater sofas; 3-seaters and larger may arrive in two sections for building access and are professionally rejoined with metal bracket systems. Quality sofa assembly at SOISU includes: leg attachment with correct torque (neither loose nor overtightened), cushion placement and final positioning, and feature demonstration for motorised pieces. This is distinct from flat-pack furniture assembly — premium Italian-design sofas require no complex assembly, just leg attachment and positioning. The delivery team handles all assembly as part of the delivery service; no separate installation cost applies.
Quality Italian-design sofas arrive with legs unattached and require only 15-20 minutes of final assembly at delivery. Indian buyers need to understand this because the conditions furniture faces in India — monsoon humidity 70-90% RH, summer heat 38-45 degrees C, multi-user household patterns, and Indian lifestyle habits including cooking proximity and floor-sitting traditions — differ significantly from European or American standards.
Some large sofas arrive in two sections for delivery access and are professionally rejoined with a centre bracket system. When shopping for furniture in India, use this knowledge to evaluate claims critically, request supporting documentation, and make decisions based on the specific conditions of your Indian home rather than generalised advice designed for very different climates.
