Do a barrel roll!
There is a pullout bed in that couch, which makes this even more difficult because it is heavier, pops open when tipped, and will put you in the hospital.
Looks to me like they were trying to get it down narrow stairs into a finished basement. I've been in the same situation many a time. This is solvable, though still a pain in the ass even when you get it just right.
Welp, I guess we're never going upstairs again.
I love older homes because they were built to last.
I hate them because you can't move anything anywhere without a saw.
Older homes are not build to last. Older homes are just worth preserving. I live in the Netherlands we have a shit ton of old homes, if these homes weren’t repaired or renovated across the centuries most of them would have collapsed. Before modern build codes, like before the 20th century, it wasn’t uncommon for an old home to just collapse with the inhabitants in it.
In many Dutch cities old homes are literally sinking into the ground, but instead of demolishing them most owners put in a new foundation. If it was an ugly modern glass box it would have been razed to the ground without a second thought.
Interesting. There are a ton of homes here built (starting about 1920) that still stand. And trust me they were built to last. Minor upkeep and they are still good today, but then everything is going to require minor upkeep.

We had to literally take our stairs apart to get our bed upstairs. Convenient!

The amount of furniture moving we do today is pretty insane. I kind of hate it.
One more step in this direction and suddenly even kitchen cabinets are separate pieces, carried up and down and in and out and around tight corners. No longer attached to the wall. Just another freestanding cabinet, there in the kitchen, with some dust, two coins, a random piece from a toy and a few dead bugs behind it. So sometimes you'll feel like you have to pull the whole thing away from the wall and clean behind it. And you'll have to remove all the dishes first, becouse the MDF panels and their connections are not strong enough to witstand all that weight while being pulled and twisted and turned. And even then you'll notice a bit more wobble than last time. So maybe you'll cut a rough match with the baseboard and screw it into the wall when you put it back. Or maybe you won't, either way it still won't be good.
When you end up moving a few years later, depending on your financial situation, you'll remove the terrible cabinet snd either toss it or bring the poorly built half-mangled half-mess still technically usable thing to the new apartment. An apartment someone else just pulled a kitchen cabinet and everything else out of. And it was hard and annoying for them, too. And just like you, they're not happy either.
I don't think it is so much a thing of today unless you mean for the last few decades at least. Kitchens in particular are very weird since people just rip them out out of spite it seems just so the person renting the place next will have to buy a new one.
Not sure where you live but where I live no one takes the kitchen cabinets when they move (us here.)

Got u fam
For the railing or the couch?
...
Yes.
The wall? Or maybe just saw the stairs apart. Fuck it, burn the house down and start over.
When moving into our house years ago I got our couch stuck in the stairs. I had to sawzall it into 3 pieces to get it out and take it to the dump
Long time ago, first time my wife left me alone for a week since we got together, I decided to go on a Xanax bender. I didn't remember a fucking thing. But, we had a basement with a spiral type stairway where the washer and dryer were. She came home and went to wash her clothes and yelled, "what the actually FUCK!?" there was an entire sheet of plywood wedged in that stairwell, impossibly stuck. She demanded an explanation that I simply could not provide so I played it off like I was doing a building project down there and it got stuck. I had to sawzall that thing to get it out. When we went down we discovered I had built an entire grow cabinet for weed which was entirely up and running. I was like, "surprise!"
She was surprised alright, but not as much as I was lol.
Is this Dirk Gently's house?
I have a reservation at Esprit de Escalaire for 3 weeks ago if you're free.

I bet the owner went back in time and opened a door to help move the sofa and then closed it, the door vanished and now the sofa is stuck in an impossible position.
Wow! A math meme! Is this the 3d version of the unsolved moving sofa problem?
Damn, I am a math graduate and somehow I do not know problems like this
You haven't been doomscrolling enough lately.
It's also mentioned on the wiki page, I'm astonished it could be solved finally, lets wait for the reviews!
It's a "Friend's" meme.

It always felt like something was missing from the stairs. This wasn't it, but it was a good try.
