MEASUREMENT FOR DELIVERY

Proper measurement is the key to ensuring your new furniture fits perfectly in your home and arrives without any delivery issues. Follow our simple guide to measure your furniture, doorways, hallways, stairs, and elevators, so everything fits as expected and your furniture is delivered without a hitch.

Step 1: Measure Your Furniture

Choose where your new piece will go. Use painter’s tape to outline its dimensions, including width (W), depth (D), height (H), and diagonal depth (DD) for chairs and sofas.

Step 2: Measure Your Home

Before your furniture arrives, it's essential to make sure it will fit comfortably in your space. Measure these places carefully to ensure smooth delivery and avoid any surprises:

Placement

Before your furniture arrives, it's essential to make sure it will fit comfortably in your space. Measure these places carefully to ensure smooth delivery and avoid any surprises:
* PRO TIP: Add 1–2 inches of extra space for easier placement.

Doorways

Identify the best path from outside to your chosen spot, noting obstacles like building access.
*Measure the height (H), width (W), and diagonal (D) of all . doorways.
*Check if the furniture can pass straight through or needs to be angled or turned.
*Check if the furniture can pass straight through or needs to be angled or turned.

Hallways

* Measure the height and width of each hallway your item will pass through. Check for wall fixtures, ceiling lights, or moldings.
* For narrow spaces and corners, measure the clearance (C) from the outer hallway wall to interior room walls—key for sofas or tall bookcases moved horizontally.

Stairwells

If your item must go up or down stairs, measure each section carefully.
* Account for handrails and banisters when measuring width. Measure ceiling height from the bottom and top steps, plus the landing’s width, depth, and ceiling height.
* Check the diagonal clearance from steps and landings in case tilting is needed.

Elevator

If your building has an elevator, measure its width, depth, and height to ensure the furniture will fit.
*If the elevator is too small, make sure the stairs or hallways are wide and tall enough for the furniture to pass through.
