RTA Sofa Assembly Speed Record Smashed by 8 Year Old.

May 10, 2010 - PRLog -- With a video camera recording his every move, 8 year old Skyler Miller set a new record of 4With a video camera recording his every move, 8 year old Skyler Miller set a new record of 4 minutes 30 seconds for assembling, by himself, a 170 lb. full-size Simplicity Sofa., eclipsing the old mark of 6 minutes, 57 seconds set two years previously by a 13 year old boy. Skyler's time included a short self-introduction and some cushion fluffing at the end.  No tools were needed for the assembly.

Skyler was very modest in acknowledging his feat. "They let me practice," he said.  "I put it together and took it apart about 7 times before they shot the video."

The video shows Skyler assembling the sofa in real time.  It can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwPONAW3llY  or on the Simplicity Sofas website at www.simplicitysofas.com.

Jeff Frank, owner of Simplicity Sofas, stated that Skyler would be inducted into the Simplicity Sofas Customer Hall of Fame, becoming the 4th member of that honorary group.  The other 3 members include the 13 year old boy from Maryland who set the previous speed record, an 87 year old man from Texas who is the oldest known individual to assemble a Simplicity Sofa by himself, and a New York City woman who assembled her sofa by herself while more than 8 months pregnant.

"The typical customer, " Mr. Frank stated, "takes about 15 minutes to assemble one of our sofas.  Less than 10 minutes if they have someone helping.  I'm pretty sure there is no other fully upholstered Ready-To-Assemble sofa in the world, of any quality level, that can be assembled that quickly and easily."
