Measuring for Furniture

Some quick conversions:

1 inch = 2.5 cm
12 inches = 30.5 cm
3 feet = 91.4 cm

We want you to be delighted with your furniture choice - but that will only happen if you can get it into your home and that it fits the space you've allowed for it. This is a guide to measuring up in advance of placing your order. You'll find at least three measurements quoted for every piece of furniture we sell, allowing you to work out exactly what will fit your space.

On each of the furniture product pages we state whether full or partial assembly is required. Otherwise, it means the piece of oak furniture is delivered fully assembled, so measuring up for access first is particularly important.

Will my new piece of furniture fit my space?

You'll want your new piece of furniture to be in proportion to the rest of the room. One way of checking that it takes up the right amount of floorspace is to use a newspaper template, or mark out your floor with masking tape.

Just check that you have enough space to walk around your furniture, open doors, drawers etc. With dining tables, you need to make sure you have at least 60cm clearance for the chair when it's out from the table in order to sit comfortably.

Delivery access

Please make sure your furniture will fit through the doors of your home when we deliver it. We always supply at least 3 measurements and to avoid disappointment we'd encourage you to take a few moments to measure up and compare before you order.

Do take extra care to measure up if you're ordering one of our larger dining tables that comes fully assembled, especially if it has a crosspiece. Allow for anything immovable that's going to get in the way of your furniture's passage to its destination - such as bannisters and radiators.
