Before it comes home

Will it fit where you pictured it?

Before moving the bed or clearing a corner, check the wall, the drawer clearance, and the turns from your front door to the room. It’s nicer to discover a tight hallway with a tape measure than with a dresser halfway through it.

Dimensions are width × depth × height. Check the listing for your country to confirm the exact version and current details.

A small room-planning trick

Tape it out before you move everything around.

Mark the width on the floor with painter’s tape. Now you can see the footprint beside your bed, and whether there’s still room to walk past without turning sideways.

Measure the depth too, then leave space for the drawers to open. One last thing people forget: the route in. Check the doorway and hallway turns before delivery day surprises you.
