What do you do *next*?  Bring it home! That is, once you've followed our measuring musts to ensure an easy-peasy delivery.  ![5-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-8414-PM-1](https://343260.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/343260/hubfs/5-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-8414-PM-1.png?width=571&height=270&name=5-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-8414-PM-1.png)   Step One: Measure Product Dimensions Make sure to double-check the size of your new product by noting down these five measurements: **✔️Height:** Measure from the lowest point to the highest point. **✔️Width:** Check the width from left to right at the widest part. **✔️Cross-length:** Measure from the top right corner to the very bottom left corner. **✔️Depth:** Measure from the front to the back. **✔️Diagonal Depth:** For the side view, measure from the upper back corner to the lower front corner. Remember to measure from the highest to the lowest point at the front.   ![4-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-7498-PM-1](https://343260.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/343260/hubfs/4-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-7498-PM-1.png?width=552&height=244&name=4-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-7498-PM-1.png)   **Step Two: Assessing Room and Space Dimensions** **Consider where your new furniture will be placed in your home. Pay attention not only to the room dimensions but also to the specific location within the room** - **Room Height:** Begin by measuring from the floor to the ceiling. Then, take additional measurements for items like ceiling fans, chandeliers, track lighting, protruding molding, etc. - **Room Size:** Measure the length and width of the room.  - **Space Measurements:** Account for obstructions that cannot be moved for delivery, such as structural elements, railings, landings, doors, ceiling fixtures, fireplaces, etc. ![3-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-7397-PM-1](https://343260.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/343260/hubfs/3-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-7397-PM-1.png?width=471&height=244&name=3-Jan-30-2024-05-36-08-7397-PM-1.png) **Step 3: Navigating to the Final Destination** **Before delivery, ensure that the new product can smoothly reach its final destination by confirming its compatibility with various entry points and obstacles.** - **Measuring Door or Entry Ways:** - ✔️Measure the height, width, and diagonal (opposite corners) of front doors, entryways, elevators, or hallways. -   - ✔️Always measure from the front and then from underneath. Include additional obstructions like molding, hinges, hooks, door locks, etc., in your measurements. - Stairways & Corners: - ✔️Measure the width of the stairway. -   - ✔️Measure side-to-side and corner-to-corner for stairways, considering landing measurements. -   - ✔️The final stairway measurement is the height from the top to the bottom. -   - ✔️Ensure your product can fit on and around any landing, and remember to include all railings in your measurements. **Told you it'd be easy!
