We want to ensure your new furniture arrives safely and without complications. This guide helps you prepare for a seamless delivery experience—whether you're living in a house, apartment, or high-rise building.

Measuring for delivery

Before placing your order, confirm that your space can accommodate the furniture. This step helps avoid delays and ensures a successful delivery.

Quick fit questions

Ask yourself:

  • Can the delivery truck access your road or driveway?

  • Will the product fit through all exterior and interior doorways?

  • Is your hallway wide enough to accommodate the furniture?

  • Will the furniture fit up your stairwell or through the elevator?

  • Is your room clear and ready to receive the item?

Important Measurements to Consider

Measure the following areas to ensure smooth access:

  • Exterior doorway height and width

  • Clearance behind doors and to opposite walls

  • Staircase corners and any curved turns

  • Ceiling height or stairwell overhangs

  • Low-hanging light fixtures

  • Elevator interior space and doorway size (if applicable)

For second-story or higher: Make sure each furniture piece is under 88” wide or 96” diagonally.

How we measure our furniture

We list both product and packaging dimensions on the product page. Please use this information to compare with your home's access points.

What You Need to Do Before Delivery:

Verify Measurements

Check that your furniture can pass through entryways, staircases, and elevators. Refer to this guide to prevent access issues.

Inform Us About Special Requirements

If your location has limited truck access, restricted gate entry, or requires a freight elevator, please let us know in advance. This approach helps avoid failed deliveries and extra fees.

Scheduling & Confirmation

  • Our delivery team will reach out 1–2 business days before delivery via email or text.

  • 48 hours prior to your appointment, we will confirm a 3-hour delivery window.

Apartment & Multi-Story Building Deliveries

Important Notes

  • Some building managers may charge additional fees for carrying large items above ground level. These charges are the customer’s responsibility.

  • If these fees are not covered in advance, your item may be left at the lobby or designated delivery zone per building policy

Need to Reschedule or Change Delivery Details?

  • Contact us at least 48 hours before the scheduled delivery date to avoid delays.

  • For delivery address changes to another state, please notify us 48 hours in advance. Address changes may affect your delivery timeline.
