1. MEASURE YOUR SPACE

Use a metal tape measure to measure the height (A) and width (B) of all doorways and hallways from the entry point to theroom your new furniture will go in.

Don't forget to also measurethe entry point (C) itself.

2. MEASURE THE FURNITURE

2.1 Measuring a Sofa

Simply measure the width (A-C) and diagonal depth (B). To calculate diagonal depth, use a metal measuring tape to measure from the top left corner to the bottom right (pillows not included).

2.2 Measuring a Dresser/Wardrobe

Simply measure the depth (B) and diagonal height (A-C) at the widest point. To find the diagonal height, use a metal measuring tape to measure from the top leftcorner to bottom right.

3. COMPARE THE TWO MEASUREMENTS

To find the best path for delivery, compare your furniture measurements to the dimensions of your hallways and doorways. By doing this, you’ll be able to see whether the furniture needs to come in at an angle or if it will fit straight through. Keep in mind that for sofas and sectionals, the diagonal depth must be less than the width of the doorway in order to fit. Remember also to take ceilings, fixtures, interior walls, stairwell banisters and turns into consideration.
