Pendleton Furniture
St. George furniture store offering home furnishings, mattresses and decor.
Pendleton Furniture carries home furnishings, mattresses and decor in St. George. The single most common furniture disaster has nothing to do with the piece and everything to do with the route between the truck and the room, and it is entirely avoidable with a tape measure.
Worth knowing
A sofa does not travel through a doorway the way it sits in a room. What matters is the diagonal: the smallest cross-section the piece can present, measured across the frame at its narrowest, against the clear opening it has to pass through - which is the door width less the stop and less the thickness of the open door itself, not the nominal size. Height into an opening is measured the same way against the diagonal depth. Then the piece has to turn, and a hallway or stair landing sets the length that can be pivoted in it. A ninety-degree turn at the top of a flight of stairs defeats more furniture than any doorway does.
The measurements worth taking before buying are therefore a short list: every door the piece must pass, the narrowest point of every hall, the width and headroom of any stairwell, and the swing radius of any turn. Elevator dimensions where relevant, including the diagonal inside the car. Removable legs and backs make a real difference and many pieces are built to come apart for exactly this reason. Sectionals, which arrive as separate units, solve the problem by construction, and a very large single piece in a room reached only by a tight turn may simply not be deliverable.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a sofa will fit through my door?
Compare the smallest diagonal cross-section of the sofa with the clear width of the opening - the door width less the stop and less the thickness of the open door, not the nominal size. Height clearance is measured the same way. Then check that the piece can be turned in the hall or landing on the other side, which is where most deliveries actually fail.
What measurements should I take before buying furniture?
Every doorway the piece must pass, the narrowest point of each hallway, the width and headroom of any stairwell, and the space available to pivot at any turn. If an elevator is involved, measure the car including its interior diagonal. Take the measurements before ordering rather than on delivery day.
What if the furniture will not fit?
Many pieces are built to come apart - removable legs, detachable backs and modular arms are common and solve most tight deliveries. Sectionals arrive as separate units and sidestep the problem entirely. Beyond that, a very large single-piece item in a room reached only through a tight turn may not be deliverable at all, which is worth establishing before purchase.
