After some wrangling, the couch was successfully delivered. It took more doing than I had hoped for but we got it in. As I had feared, my calculations were off- not by much, but by just enough to make wedging the couch in impossible. However, I had a trump card: I had them bring the couch upstairs, around, and down. It was a gamble. I only have access upstairs in my walkup via an inside door that is usually locked... from the other side. However, today the door was unlocked so we were in business and got the couch in around down and through. I can now count myself amongst the couch-enabled.
As a bonus, here's a bit of halloweenerie I spotted on my way to the subway, post couch delivery:
I don't like the way they looked at me.
