Measure your space.
How to measure for delivery:
Follow these simple guidelines to help ensure an efficient delivery. Remember to relay this information to our staff when scheduling your delivery:
Entryways
• Measure the height and width of your entryways, including elevator doors, entry doors, and the door of the space where the furniture will be placed.
Furniture dimensions
• Measure the furniture to be delivered and determine if it can go straight through entryways or if it will have to go in at an angle on on end.
Larger pieces
• For upholstered furniture, such as sofas and chairs, measure the overall length, depth, back height and diagonal depth. Diagonal depth is helpful when determining if the piece can be brought in on end. To determine the diagonal depth: measure from the top of the back to the front of the arm. Find the mid-point of that measurement and measure from the mid-point to lower back leg.
Bulky items
• For wood furniture, such as armoires and bookcases, measure the overall height, width and depth. Diagonal height (from top left corner to bottom right corner) is helpful when determining if the piece can be brought in on a tilt.
Pathways
• Make sure there is a clear and unobstructed path in front of and beyond each doorway. Make note of any fixtures, decorative moldings, and interior walls, ceiling heights, stairwells and hand railings that may pose an obstacle once inside.
