If it hasn\u2019t happened to you chances are it\u2019s happened to one of your friends.\u00a0 There\u2019s that fabulous couch you found at the ABC Home Store warehouse sale, or stopped eating lunch for a month in order to afford, and that\u2019s become your urban refuge.\u00a0 That\u2019s is until THE BIG MOVE.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re searched for months, been too slow in making a decision a few times, but finally found the perfect <\/i>apartment.\u00a0 Except for one little fact:\u00a0 your couch won\u2019t fit.\u00a0 In New York City it\u2019s become such a problem that a whole industry has arisen around \u201ccouch crunching\u201d, and appointments with the NYC Coach Doctor are increasingly hard to come by, but taking a soft apart and then rebuilding is becoming a more common occurrence.<\/p>\n

However, even when the couch fits it can still have a profound effect on what happens next.\u00a0 A couch was actually what I bought even before I moved to New York City, looking at it as a grown-up piece of furniture and carefully paying it off first from after-school and then from part-time jobs while in college.\u00a0 That sofa, a heavy sleeper no less, meant that there could be no easy transition for me into the waiting space of a roommate since, invariably, either there was no room for a couch at all or there was one already in place.\u00a0 This meant finding my own place, own roommate, and eventually helping my parents and then boyfriend maneuver that couch up five long flights of stairs.\u00a0 That was only the beginning, when it finally landed years later in my friend\u2019s suburban basement.\u00a0 That, though, is a story all its own.<\/p>\n

Why all the interest in couches?\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s moving season in NYC so plenty of couches going in and out, but it\u2019s also the time of year when one of my closest friends moved into an apartment in another city.\u00a0 Her brand new couch was too heavy for she and her father to move, so a handsome young man coming home from work rushed over to help.\u00a0 Just a few days ago, three years later, they became engaged.\u00a0 All over a couch.\u00a0 You just never know.<\/p>\n
