Measure your spaces and your furniture

    It’s important to be prepared for anything that you plan to move. Don’t just guess how large an item is. Measure it.

You’ll need to make sure that moving large items through the door frame or another area of your home isn’t going to cause damage. Trying to fit something through a tight space can gouge your furniture and your walls.

Taking a few extra minutes to measure your spaces and your items will help save you headaches and money in the long run.

Dimension explanations

Overall Length
The length from outside arm to outside arm.
 

Overall Depth
From the front-most point to the back-most point. Usually from the front of the seat cushion to the back-most part of the frame.
 

Overall Height
Measurement from the floor to the top of the back cushion or frame (whichever is higher).
 

Seat Depth
Measurement from the front of the seat cushion (where the welt is) to the point where the back cushion starts.
 

Seat Width
Measurement of side-to-side seating space. It's the distance between the arms, but on armless pieces it corresponds with the length.
 

Seat Height
Measurement from the floor to the top welt of the seat cushion.
 

Arm Height
Measurement from the floor to the tallest point on the arm.
 

Frame Height
Measurement from the floor to the highest point on the back of the frame.
 

Skirt Height
Measurement of the skirt. It's not measured from the floor - it's just the measurement of the actual skirt because there is approximately 1" of clearance from the floor so the skirt doesn't drag on carpet. For hardwood floors, skirts can be made longer if desired.
