How to Measure

How to measure
furniture for delivery

Your new furniture needs to fit in your room—and through the door. Here's how to measure furniture and compare to your home's dimensions for a smooth delivery.

Measure the Room

Use a metal tape measure to measure the height (A) and width (B) of all doorways and hallways from the entry point to the room your new furniture will go in. Don't forget to also measure the entry point (C) itself.

Two Measurements

Measure dresser or bookcase

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.
