We did that when we put a sofa into our second-floor TV room. It went
up a ladder and through the window easily (after the delivery people
tried for two hours to get it up the stairs -- I told 'em it wouldn't
fit and to use the window, but noooooo).

We recently replaced the sofa with two recliners and instead of using
two men, a ladder, and the window, I got out my reciprocating saw and
just chopped it up into pieces and took them all down the stairs
myself,
