New bed delivered. Old bed taken away. New bed won't go round the corner at the top of the stairs!
I took off the handrails and a decorative piece at the top of the wooden support pillar. Nope! No amount of twisting, turning or applied geometry was going to make the two halves of the base go round that corner.
Japanese houses are notorious for this. Our old place, which was new and not tiny, couldn't even fit a queen-sized bed up the stairs. As these kinds of things are common, when you order something big, often the delivery company comes to measure first to ensure it can go where it needs to go. Ultimately, we did what a lot of people do and got two singles and pushed them together.
