Order FAQs

If you have any questions related to ordering online, please see below for more information. From making sure you’ve measured for your sofa correctly before you checkout through to arranging delivery of your order – we’ve got you covered.

Measuring up for your new sofa might seem tricky, but it’s really straightforward, just remember to measure from the widest points. At the bottom of each product page, you’ll find all the dimensions you will need including height (A) front (B) seat (C) width (D) and depth (E). Always measure any doorways and hallways where your sofa will have to fit through and let us know of any access issues our delivery teams may face i.e. spiral staircases or top floor flats. If you still aren't sure, read our Fitting Guide here.

Top tip: Please consider the angle of the back of the sofa (if any) and take this into account when measuring, especially if you’re planning on placing it against the wall.

Once you have chosen your new furniture or flooring and placed your order, you can relax and let our online sales time take care of the rest. Our team will call you back to complete your order at the time you have selected in the checkout.
