Tight doorways, building lifts, narrow halls and staircases can be a problem when delivering new furniture.
Be sure that the piece will fit in - and into - your home before placing your order.
Here's how:
1. Pick the right piece
Make sure the furniture you're considering works in your space. Our dimensions (Width, Depth, Length, Height) will help you decide.
To help visualise, map out the area where the piece will be placed, using masking tape or sheets of paper.
2. Measure Your Home
It's important to make sure that the piece will fit in all entryways before placing your order.
- Measure the height (A) and width (B) of all doors, lifts and hallways.
- For narrow entryways and corners, also measure the total clearance length (C) between the outside and interior walls.
- Determine the best pathway from outside your home to where the piece will live.
Ensure you take into account for lights, fixtures, decorative moldings, interior walls, staircases, and lifts when measuring, as they may pose an obstacle when delivering to a building or once the piece is in your home.
3. Note Furniture Measurements
Referencing the measurements info on each product page, locate the width (W), depth (D), and height (H) of the piece.
Some products are delivered in individual pieces or dismantled. Dining tables have removable legs, Bed frames come dis-assembled minimising overall product height during delivery.
4. Make Sure It Fits Into Your Home
For Sofas + Chairs:
The width of the entryway must exceed at least one of the following: the piece's depth (D) or height (H).
If the entryway clearance (C) exceeds the piece's width (W), then you can move it in horizontally.
If the entryway clearance (C) is less than the piece's width (W), then you will need to attempt to move it in vertically, meaning that the entryway height (A) must exceed the piece's width (W).
Caution—the piece will not fit into your home if either of these instances holds true:
- Measure the height (A) and width (B) of all doors, lifts and hallways.
- For narrow entryways and corners, also measure the total clearance length (C) between the outside and interior walls.
For Bookcases + Wallunits:
The width of the entryway (B) must exceed the piece's depth (D).
If the entryway clearance (C) exceeds the piece's height (H), then you can move it in horizontally.
If the entryway clearance (C) is less than the piece's height (H), then you will need to attempt to move it in vertically, meaning that the entryway height (A) must exceed the piece's height (H).
Caution—the piece will not fit into your home if the piece's height (H) exceeds both the entryway clearance (C) and height (A).
