     Good luck, I'm sure you will manage it!
    Without any detail on what sort of chairs the OP is buying or the layout of their flat, I think you might be being a bit optimistic about this with no real foundation.

    The OP is right to be checking, because the retailer is under no obligation to take the chairs back and issue a refund if they don't fit through the door so it's potentially a very expensive mistake to make !
    Here's a link to the chaIr I am thinking of buying:

    I think the wooden legs come off.  I don't have dimensions for the chair.

    I'm in a 1st floor flat & it should be easy enough to get the chair to my front door, through the front door of the building, up the stairs to the front door of my flat.  Have a standard wooden front door so think it could be taken of its hinges.

    I've done some measuring & the door excluding the frame is 77cm.

    It's a stock item so not custom built.  I'll give JL customer service a call for any advice.  
    The link you gave shows the measurements. The chair is 76cms wide. Your door is 77cms. 

    The link says the legs are not removable. 




    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
