Delivery, Assembly, and Setup Checklist (Tokyo)

Modular convertible furniture is designed to fit tight Tokyo spaces, but a smooth arrival still depends on prep work. Use this checklist to reduce delays, avoid damage, and make the sofa-to-bed transformation feel effortless on day one.

Before delivery (same day plan)

1 Clear a direct path from your entry (or lift) to the room. If the route includes a narrow corridor, measure the tightest point first.
2 Protect your floors. Even with careful carry, small grit can scratch laminate or tatami-adjacent surfaces.
3 Confirm your power needs for built-in wireless charging. Decide where the charging station will be placed before assembly.
4 Keep small tools and extra batteries (if any) nearby. You will also want a clean workspace for screws, brackets, and instruction sheets.

Delivery day checklist

Check that all modules match the packaging list. Count the pieces and confirm that hardware sets are included.
Inspect surfaces before the team moves on. Look for chips, bent corners, or loose fabric edges.
Ask how the sofa-to-bed mechanism should be handled during assembly. Some steps require keeping parts aligned to avoid future friction.
Verify clearance around the future bed position. If your room is extremely narrow, adjust placement immediately rather than after everything is bolted.

Assembly and setup (what to verify)

Stability

Make sure connectors are fully seated and fasteners are tightened to spec. A stable base prevents rocking when you switch between sofa and bed.

Storage and access

Open each compartment once to confirm latch alignment. If you plan daily use, keep frequently accessed items within the shortest reach.

Wireless charging

Test the charging station with your phone. Confirm cable routing is tidy and that the station aligns with where you typically place your device.

Final transformation trial

Run the full sofa-to-bed conversion two times. Listen for unusual scraping and check that nothing catches on flooring edges.

After setup (first 48 hours)

Recheck fasteners after the first full transformation cycle, especially if your apartment floor is slightly uneven.
Arrange daily items. Storage works best when you keep a consistent “hand-off” point between sofa use and bedtime use.
Charge and test again. If the phone alignment feels inconsistent, adjust the station placement or device position within the intended zone.
Keep packaging materials for a short window in case you need to review parts or secure an accessory.

If something doesn’t feel right

Stop and re-check alignment rather than forcing the mechanism. Most minor issues come from early placement, uneven flooring contact, or a partially seated connector. If you need help, send your order details and a few photos of the area that feels off.

Tip for Tokyo apartments: if your room layout changes, repeat the measurements before a second conversion day. A precise fit reduces friction and helps storage doors align cleanly.
