There’s nothing quite like the excitement of bringing home a brand-new piece of furniture. But before your dream sofa, dining table, or statement chair arrives, a little preparation can go a long way in ensuring a smooth, hassle-free delivery.
Clear the Path
Make sure the route to your furniture’s final destination is wide open and clutter-free. Move any fragile items, rugs, or obstacles that could get in the way. If your piece is going upstairs, consider removing wall art or anything that might be at risk of damage during the process.
Measure Twice, Avoid Surprises
Before finalizing your order, double-check the dimensions of your new piece and compare them to your home’s doorways, hallways, stairwells, and elevators. A stunning sectional won’t do much good if it can’t make it through your front door! Pro tip: Don’t forget to factor in tight turns and ceiling heights in tricky spaces.
Plan for the Unexpected
Every home is different, and sometimes, an unforeseen challenge pops up. If you’re unsure whether your furniture will fit, consult with your sales associate before delivery day. In some cases, doors can be removed, or alternative entry points can be considered to make things work.
A little preparation now means you’ll be relaxing in your new space sooner—without the stress. Happy decorating!
