We want to make sure we can successfully deliver your furniture, so you can start arranging your interiors and enjoy your new items. Read our tips below on how to accurately self-measure your space before delivery.

A green door labeled "76" with ornate white trim stands closed within a brick building, flanked by a black wrought-iron fence on a stone path.

The first walk-through

Measure the area where you plan to put your item, considering any fixed widths that might cause obstructions. We suggest doing a walk-through prior to delivery, from the delivery truck, to the chosen area in your home.

A partially open green door reveals a cozy sitting area with colorful chairs, a round table with drinks, and a wall with framed artworks in a room with warm lighting.

Remove any fixtures

When measuring the height and width of any doorways and hallways, account for handles, trims, skirting and handrails that cannot be easily removed. It's also a good idea to consider other options, including back and side doors, or garages.

Using a lift

If a lift is required to access your home, be sure to measure the height and depth of its door, and also diagonally from the bottom centre of the door to the back ceiling. Note down how much leeway you have.

A staircase with light green railings and wooden steps ascends in a hallway. The walls are adorned with framed maps, drawings, and photographs, illuminated by wall-mounted lamps.

Measuring stairs

Measure the width of the stairways and depth of the landings, including any banisters. We also recommend measuring the top and bottom of the stairs to the wall, and the ceiling height from both the bottom and top step, and the landing to the ceiling.

Elegant hallway features black-and-white checkered flooring, plants, and wall-mounted lamps; open double doors lead to an outdoor garden area with potted plants, seen through glass-panel doors.

Clear the path

Remove any fixtures that might get in the way, including light and ceiling fixtures, artwork, rugs, decorative accessories and plants.

Compare your measurements

Compare the detailed measurements you've taken throughout your home to the dimensions of the furniture item (you can find these on our product pages). Check the depth of your chosen piece, and ensure that the width and height is less than that of the stairways, hallways and doorways in your home.

It’s time for delivery

Unfortunately, we are unable to move any existing furniture, so double-check that the path is clear, and protect any floors or furniture - you'll then be ready to welcome your new piece into your home.
