Rta Sofa Assembly - Simple Enough For 8 Year Olds

Skyler Miller, age 8, broke the world's record for fastest assembly of a fully upholstered RTA (Ready To Assemble) sofa by a single person.

A recently made YouTube video shows just how far the RTA upholstered furniture industry has come in recent years.

Remember when assembling your own sofa was a 1-2 hour job with dozens of parts fastened with little hex wrenches and a dozen pages of multilingual instructions?

Those sofas are still available. Now there are other options. A patented sofa assembly system has been developed by a North Carolina manufacturer which permits its custom sofas to be fully assembled in 15 minutes by a single person. No tools are needed.

Of course few people believed this hype, so the company enlisted the help of Skyler Miller, a diminutive 8 year old who weighs less than half as much as one of their sofas.

60 lb. In his first time on video, Skyler was clearly the star of the show. After practicing by taking the $1000 sofa apart and putting it back together 5 or 6 times, Skyler was ready to go for the record.

To break the record, he needed to assemble a full-size, 170 lb. sofa by himself in less than 5 minutes.

The YouTube video demonstrates just how simple the Assembly really is. Skyler shyly introduces himself and then proceeds to assemble the 170 lb. full-size sofa. sofa and even fluffs the cushions. Total elapsed time -- 3 minutes and 51 seconds.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that 8 year old Skyler does not appear to be hurrying, racing or rushing. He does not need any help and he does not need any tools.

Skyler's video can be seen below.

The difficulty of assembling RTA furniture keeps many prospective customers away from the product. However, when faced with narrow doorways or stairs, there can be few options.

In New York City, where there are thousands of apartments with limited access, one popular answer is to hire one of several delivery firms that specializes in breaking sofas apart and then rejoining the parts once the piece is in the designated room. This costs hundreds of dollars and voids any warranty you may have had on the furniture, but many people think it is their only option.

The existence of high quality custom RTA sofas that can be assembled in only 15 minutes is a well-kept secret, known only by the select few who have stumbled across it online.

Because these RTA sofas are custom made, they can be purchased in more than 100 different fabrics and with dozens of cushion and slipcover options. Queen-size sleeper sofas that can also be assembled in 15 minutes can also be purchased.
