Speaking to reporters, he shared that they had reached out to a designer to customise the product.
It appears as though two straps have been carefully attached to the back of the sofa.

In a series of photos, he shows several ways to enjoy the ingenious invention.
On one occasion, he sits patiently by the train doors at an empty subway platform.
Otherwise, he has also casually lounged in a train cabin.

He appears to be the picture of comfort as he reclines on the plush sofa alongside other commuters.
Passes safety inspection
Tianmu News reported that the man had asked the subway staff beforehand if he was allowed to carry the item.
Luckily for him, his bulky item passed the security check despite being close to the upper limit of the carryable volume.
According to the Hangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau, commuters can carry items of up to 30kg.
Additionally, the group also made sure to travel during off-peak hours to avoid inconveniencing other commuters.
