I just got rid of a big-ass sofa a couple months ago. It was a tremendous pain in the ass, and I got out my saw as well. And my heat gun for the plastic bits. While some parts are made of wood, a great deal of it was indeed metal. I instead decided, since it's just barely too big for my hallway, to just take off the feet... with the saw, which also didn't work, so in comes the heat gun, no dice... so I took a mallet (which also didn't work, and switched to a standard hammer) and just went nuts on it til the feet broke away. I also had to remove my door (I used the hammer and chisel to get the pins out of the hinges, since the entire hinges wouldn't come unscrewed). I should note that I did all this after discovering the hard way that the couch wasn't gonna budge through that hallway... after it was firmly wedged in, so I was climbing all over it!
I did what I could myself, but then got stuck, and at one point just used the couch AS MY FRONT DOOR for the night til my boyfriend got home to help me tumble it down the stairs. What a nightmare!
We also decided not to get a replacement couch for a long time, and instead got an elliptical. That was great for a while, but we buckled and got a cheap futon a few weeks ago.
