Measuring Up for Delivery

When buying large items of furniture, it is vital to make sure it will fit through the property access and into the intended space in your room. Make sure there is enough height, width and diagonal depth to accommodate your furniture's entry and that there's plenty of room to manoeuvre around corners and through doors.

STEPS TO ENSURE A PROBLEM FREE DELIVERY

Before ordering, please check carefully that the upholstery, bed and cabinet products you have ordered will fit into the intended space in your home. It is extremely important that customers advise us of any potential delivery difficulties or obstacles. Charges will apply for redelivery caused by failed delivery or cancellation.

STEP 1 - CHECK THE FURNITURE CAN ACCESS ENTRY POINTS THE ROOM.

 

STEP 2 - MEASURE THE SPACE WHERE THE FURNITURE WILL SIT.

Check that the furniture will fit the space in the room where it will sit. The dimensions of each piece of furniture can be found on this website.

Furniture can appear smaller than it actually is. Furniture often appears a lot bigger in your room. The easiest way to check the amount of floor space needed is by marking the area out on the floor where the furniture will sit. This can be done by either using masking tape or a newspaper template.

If the furniture going into an alcove make sure when measuring that you allow for the skirting boards. For tall pieces of cabinet furniture e.g. wardrobes and dressers, check that the height of the cabinet is not too tall for the room. Check that you have enough space to walk around the furniture and for the doors and drawers of cabinet furniture to open.

STEP 3 - CHECK OUR LARGE DELIVERY LORRY CAN REACH THE DELIVERY ADDRESS

Our delivery vehicles are large. Please check that they can gain safe and ample access to or immediately adjacent to the delivery address.
Are there any access problems? Please tell us at point of order if your home or room is difficult to access. This will affect how we deliver your furniture and may involve an additional charge.

Please consider:

  • Can a delivery lorry park immediately outside your home?
  • Is your home easy to find or are extra directions needed?
  • Are there steps up to your front door or other obstacles such as narrow gateways or railings?
  • Have you checked that your furniture will fit through your doors? Our delivery drivers are not able to remove doors and windows to effect access.
  • Are there narrow corridors or internal steps to negotiate? If there are turns to be made is there sufficient space to turn the piece of furniture?
  • Are there any internal obstacles - wall lights, low hanging lights, framed prints on wall, low ceilings, beams?
