HOW
TO
MEASURE FURNITURE
Please use this guide to help
measure your home and ensure
your new furniture will fit into its intended
location.
When considering your new furniture, it’s important
to think carefully about both the space it will occupy
and the access into the room. To avoid any problems
that may arise please use the following guide:
Make a Plan. Judge how much space your new
furniture will occupy by placing newspaper on the
floor to the right size, remembering to allow room for
reclining sofas and to pull out dining chairs or divan
drawers.
Measure the Access. Measure any potential problem
points along the access route to the room of your
choice, particularly door heights and widths, narrow
corridors, tight corners and stair bannisters. Please
take note of any other obstacles such as ceiling
fixtures or wall lights, and plan to remove all breakable
objects on the route.
Measure your Furniture as follows, or ask us to do it
for you.
Sofas. Measure the width (shown as W) and diagonal
depth (shown as X) on our diagrams. To get the
diagonal depth, remove any back cushions, then
measure the distance from the rear corner of the sofa
to the centre of a line from the top of the arm to the
top of the highest point of the back. The width must
be less than the door height (shown as A) and the
turning area (shown as C). The diagonal depth must
be less than the door width (shown as B).
Cabinets. Measure the diagonal height at the widest
point (shown as Y) and the depth (shown as Z). The
diagonal height must be less than the door height
(shown as A) and the turning area (shown as C). The
depth must be less than the door width (shown as B).
ACCESS INTO YOUR HOME
Access Route. We will do all we can to make sure
your new furniture reaches the room for which it
was intended, but unfortunately we can’t accept
responsibility for determining that the goods are
fit for purpose and the dimensions are suitable. If
access is difficult, a door or window may need to be
removed so it is essential to arrange this beforehand
with your own chosen contractor beforehand.
Delivery Enquires. For all enquires relating to the
delivery of your order please call 01206 765444.
