How to Measure for Furniture Delivery
When purchasing new furniture, we suggest noting all important measurements and obstructions to ensure a successful delivery.
How to Measure
Measure the diagonal depth and width of the furniture to determine if it will fit through your home’s entryways.
For apartment buildings or homes with elevators, it is important to measure the elevator interior height, elevator opening and opposite wall distance.
