Measuring for Delivery
To ensure your new furniture fits perfectly, please follow this guide before placing your order. A little preparation ensures a smooth delivery day.
Measuring your home
Double check the space
Once you’ve determined the location for your new indoor or outdoor furniture piece, consider the surroundings.
- Check for electrical outlets, vents or light switches that could be obstructed.
- PRO TIP Give yourself an extra 1–2 inches of wiggle room when taking measurements.
Doorways
Determine the best pathway from outside your home into where the piece will live, noting any obstacles like building access.
- Measure the height (H), width (W) and diagonal (D) of all doorways along the path.
- Compare measurements to determine if the furniture can go straight through entryways, or if it must be angled or turned on its end.
- For sofas and chairs, the width of the entryway must exceed one of the following: the piece’s depth, diagonal depth or height.
Hallways
Measure the height and width of every hallway your item will pass through.
- Consider wall and ceiling fixtures and decorative moldings.
- If there are narrow entryways and corners, measure the total clearance length (C) between the outside hallway wall and interior room walls. This is important for sofas or tall bookcases that must be moved in horizontally.
Stairways
If your piece must travel up or down a staircase, measure each segment carefully.
- Take handrails and banisters into account when measuring width.
- Measure the ceiling height from the bottom step and top step.
- If there’s a landing, measure its width and depth, as well as the ceiling height from that spot.
- Measure the diagonal from the steps and landing, in case you need to tilt the item to clear the stairway.
Elevators
If your building has an elevator, take care to measure every angle, from the door opening to the interior height, width, depth and diagonals.
