Furniture decisions are easier when somebody has already worked out which questions actually matter. These guides are written from our own floor, with real counts rather than estimates, and they are meant to be read before you come in rather than instead of coming in.
Each one answers the question in the first few lines, then explains the reasoning underneath. Skip to whichever section you need.
Our Guides
- How to Choose a Sectional. Measuring the room, which side the chaise goes on, configurations and what each needs in floor space, and getting one through the door.
- How to Choose a Dining Table and Seating. Clearance around the table, sizing by seat count, shapes, table heights and whether a bench suits the room.
How to use them
Read the Quick Answer at the top of whichever guide you need. If that settles it, you are done. If it does not, the sections below it go deeper into the part you are stuck on.
Then come in with two things: the measurements of your room, and a rough idea of how the space gets used day to day. Those two pieces of information let us narrow a showroom down to a handful of pieces in a few minutes.
If you live in an apartment or a condo, measure the route in as well as the room. Doorways, hallway turns, elevators and stairwells decide more deliveries than people expect.
Come and See Us
There is no substitute for sitting on the furniture. A guide can tell you what to look for, and ten minutes on a sofa tells you whether it is yours.
Browse our sectionals, sofas, dining tables and recliners online first if you want a shortlist before you arrive.
