Measuring guide
Step 1 Measure Your Entryway
- Use a tape measure to determine the height (A) and width (B) of your entryway hallways and doors.
- Measure the entry clearance/depth (C) to ensure that there is enough space for large items to be carried in and out.
- If there are any walls or turns directly past the entry door, repeat the measurement process to ensure that there is enough space to maneuver large items.
If an elevator is required to reach your apartment or condo, measure the elevator doorway and interior to ensure that items can be safely transported.
Step 2 Measure Your Furniture

If an elevator is required to reach your apartment or condo, measure the elevator doorway and interior to ensure that items can be safely transported. - For tall case items like a display cabinet or bookcase, measure the diagonal height (F) at the widest point of the item and the depth (G).
Step 3 Compare Dimensions
Sofa width must be less than entryway dimension A
Or C
Diagonal sofa depth must be less than entryway B
Diagonal height must be less than entryway dimension A
