Buying New Furniture Means Pulling Out the Tape Measure
I bought a sleeper sofa to go into my home office. I thought it would be a great place for visitors to sit or for me to watch the Olympics during my work day. Since I was using one of our guest rooms for an office, I also wanted to have a way to convert it into sleeping space when needed. I never considered it would be so difficult to get it into the room. If I had only measured, I could have chosen a different size or determined the best way to bring it into the house.
Measure the Rooms and the Doorways
It’s not only important to know the measurement of the room when purchasing new furniture; it is vitally important to know the measurement of your doorways. I know the men bringing in my sleeper sofa wish I had known. It took about 2 hours for them to get the sleeper sofa through 3 doorways. Whip out that handy tape measure before you ever crank the car to go look at furniture. It is one of those tiny little details that is hugely important.
