Before you make that large furniture purchase, and then wait weeks for it to be delivered, only to find out that it just won’t fit, wouldn’t you like to know ahead of time, if the item is going to be suitable for your house?  Survey your room(s), determine stairways, inside and outside, and measure and check for hidden problems or obstructions that you may have not thought of. Then compare this information with the measurements of your future purchase. If you are moving locally from one home to another, we can survey the home or apartment you are relocating to, to make sure the stairways, hallways and rooms will accomodate your OLD furniture.  In the moving industry, we often find that people with the smallest places often buy the biggest furniture. I think it’s mainly caused by choosing furniture in a store that has a huge warehouse and people “forget” about the reality of their space. To avoid this, choose your measurments before you buy and don’t stray from them. This way you’ll avoid the pain of returns and time off work to receive deliveries and some stores only offer in store credit instead of a cash return. This will really restrict your choices.
