Make sure your furniture fits

Once you've chosen your furniture, follow these simple steps to make sure the piece you've picked is right for you and your home.

Step 1: Measure up

furniture dimensionsAll our furniture comes with (H) height,
(W) width and (D) depth dimensions, listed in the catalogue or on our website. So don't let your eyes deceive you – accurately measure your rooms to make sure your new furniture will fit with ease, including through doorways. Remember to include extra space if your furniture includes doors or drawers that need additional room to open.

Step 2: Get a sense of scale

Step 3: Check access

The majority of our furniture comes flat packed for self-assembly, making delivery easier.page 3 of 5
