To measure wood furniture, you'll need to record its height, width, and depth using these simple steps:
Measuring Your Furniture
Here's a table outlining the key measurements to take when measuring your wood furniture:
| Measurement | Description |
|---|---|
| Height (H) | Measure from the floor to the highest point of the assembled furniture item. |
| Width (W) | Measure the distance from the furthest left point to the furthest right point of the assembled furniture item. |
| Depth (D) | Measure the distance from the furthest front point to the furthest back point of the assembled furniture item. |
Here's a detailed look at each measurement:
Height
- Start at the floor: Place the end of your measuring tape on the floor directly below the highest part of your furniture.
- Measure vertically: Extend the measuring tape straight up to the highest point, whether it is a corner, the top of an armrest, or any other protruding feature.
- Record the measurement: Note down the reading. This represents the overall height (H).
Width
- Find the widest points: Determine the points that extend farthest from left to right on the furniture.
- Measure horizontally: Hold the measuring tape taut and measure straight across from one extreme to the other.
- Record the measurement: Note this down as the overall width (W)
Depth
- Find the deepest points: Identify the points that extend furthest from the front to the back of your furniture.
- Measure horizontally: Measure straight back from the front-most point to the rear-most point.
- Record the measurement: Note this down as the overall depth (D).
By following these steps, you can accurately measure your wood furniture and have the critical dimensions (H, W, and D).
