It may sound obvious, but you need to check the measurements of your chosen furniture first. You’ll find this information on the product page, underneath ‘Size & Specification’. For each item, we display the width, the height and the depth, as well as details on whether it requires assembly or not.

Please note: our dimensions don’t include the height of legs on sofas, as these are usually not attached and will be fitted upon delivery. We also don’t include measurements for loose cushions.

Once you have your furniture measurements, map out the space where it will sit. Using masking tape to mark the footprint on your floor can help you visualise how much room it will take up.

When planning your layout, consider the following:

Sideboards & Cabinets
Make sure there’s enough space to comfortably open drawers and cupboard doors.

Dining Tables & Chairs
Allow room to move freely around the table. If chairs are positioned near a wall, we recommend leaving at least 80cm between the back of the chair and the wall so you can sit and stand comfortably.

Sofa Beds
Check there’s enough space to fully extend the sofa bed when in use.

Recliner Chairs & Sofas
Recliners often move both backwards and forwards. Ensure there’s adequate space in front and behind for full movement and comfort.

Corner Sofas
Double-check the orientation before ordering. A left-hand facing sofa means the corner section is on your left when you’re facing the sofa (not when sitting on it).

Before ordering, make sure your furniture can comfortably pass through your hallway and into your chosen room. Start by checking the depth of your hallway. If your item is taller than the door frame, it won’t be able to tilt, so the hallway must be deep enough to accommodate its full depth.

Measure the narrowest point between your front door and any internal walls or staircases, ensuring this is wider than your furniture. Don’t forget to account for obstacles such as radiators, tight corners, or turns along the way.

Next, measure the height and width of your front door (inside edge to inside edge), and repeat this for any internal doorways your item will pass through. As a guide, if a doorway is taller than your item, it should fit, especially as our delivery team can often manoeuvre pieces on their end to help navigate tighter spaces.

If your furniture needs to go upstairs, it’s important to check there’s enough space at every point along the stairwell. Consider whether your stairs turn a corner and if the ceiling height drops as you go up, as both can affect access.

Start by measuring the narrowest point of the stairwell. As a guide, this should be wider than the height of your furniture to allow it to pass through. Be sure to measure from multiple angles, especially around corners, to ensure there’s enough room to manoeuvre and swivel the item safely.

Taking a few extra measurements now can help avoid any issues on delivery day.

Measure the height and width of your front door from inside edge to inside edge, then repeat this for any internal doorways your furniture will need to pass through.

As a guide, if the doorway height is greater than the height of your item, it should fit. Our delivery team can often manoeuvre furniture on its end to help navigate tighter spaces, but it’s important to ensure there’s enough overall clearance along the full route.

Taking a few extra measurements now can help avoid any issues on delivery day.

When planning your delivery, it’s not just doorways and staircases to think about. Light fittings, thermostats, door handles, bannisters, and even doors when left open can all reduce your available space. Keep these in mind when measuring, and remember, many of these can be temporarily removed if needed.

A little preparation goes a long way in making your delivery smooth and stress-free. Before we arrive, ensure there is clear and easy access throughout your home so our team can manoeuvre your furniture safely and efficiently.

Our delivery vehicles require suitable access and parking, so where possible, make space ahead of time by moving cars, bins, plant pots, or garden furniture that may be in the way.

We also recommend safely storing away any fragile or valuable items, such as vases, artwork, or photo frames, particularly along the delivery route, to avoid any accidental damage.

Rugs and runners can create trip hazards when carrying larger items, so it’s best to move these out of the way beforehand.

Finally, consider any existing furniture that could restrict access. Moving items like side tables or chairs will help create a clear path and make the process quicker and easier.
