Will the Montauk fit
your NYC apartment?

Buy the Montauk you want. Montauk calls this sofa its original model, a standard bearer for quality for over 25 years, and it's available in custom sizes, genuinely useful when you're fitting a sofa to a New York apartment. If your building's door, stairs or elevator won't take it whole, it comes apart and is rebuilt inside.

What makes the Montauk different

The standard Montauk measures 102 inches long by 40 inches deep by 29 inches high, and it's available in custom sizes beyond that. Slipcovered construction is the brand's core identity, the way it's built across the whole Montauk line, not just this model.

How we take the Montauk apart

The slipcover comes off first, before any work starts. The back is the part that usually comes off a Montauk, as long as it's built like a regular sofa under the slipcover. If it is, the method is the same: we open the back, cut the frame free, and rebuild the joint as we do on most sofas. What's left is a U, both arms and the seat, or an L when the entrance calls for it, the back plus one arm. The building decides which one, not the sofa.

Before you order

Montauk's own FAQ puts the measuring responsibility plainly: customers are responsible for verifying building and room access and all entry measurements. It also notes that most styles, including this one, can be delivered with the feet off, which trims 2 inches from the height (feet aren't removable on the Kate, Lily or Catherine models, so this is specific to styles like this one, not a blanket rule). The Tribeca showroom is at 42 Lispenard Street. Measure the whole route before you order: building entrance, elevator or stairs, hallway turns and your own apartment door. Our doorway and hallway guide covers the measurements that matter most, and we work across Manhattan every day, including Tribeca. Check the route with Will My Sofa Fit?, and send the Montauk's product link to the AI Quote Tool to see your price range.

The fabric

Montauk's slipcovers come in linen and performance weaves depending on the piece; the brand describes itself as high-end slipcovered furniture. Whatever's on your Montauk, we keep the tool pointed inward, away from the fabric you see.

Light fabric? Have it taken apart indoors

With the Workshop Fit, the Montauk comes to our workshop before it comes to you. We take it apart indoors on a clean carpet, one sofa at a time, then carry it in and rebuild it in your home. It's never opened on the sidewalk or a lobby floor. The Workshop Fit →

Common questions

A Montauk that won't go in whole usually loses its back first. The pieces go through the door and the sofa is rebuilt inside. We guarantee it fits. In 5,000+ jobs, we have never failed to get a sofa inside.

Often, yes. To get the back off, we usually cut the wood frame. We rebuild the joint with wood, steel plates or both, screwed across the cut, so it holds as strong as before, or stronger. Then we reattach the upholstery the way it was.

From $275 with the On-the-Spot Fit. The exact price depends on your entrance and what the talk-through finds. The Workshop Fit is double the On-the-Spot price (from $550), with stairs and tolls added once, not doubled. Stairs are free up to three flights, then +$25 per flight.
