Before delivery day
- Confirm the delivery address and best phone number.
- Measure doorways, hallways, stair turns, and the room entrance.
- Clear the path from driveway to room.
- Move fragile items, rugs, lamps, plants, and wall décor near tight areas.
- Decide where the old furniture is going before the new piece arrives.
Morning of delivery
- Secure pets in a separate room.
- Move vehicles if the truck needs driveway access.
- Clear snow, rain mats, toys, and porch items from the path.
- Keep an adult available to approve placement.
Placement tip: know the “front” of the room before the crew arrives. For sectionals, beds, and dining sets, a quick sketch can prevent extra moving.
After the furniture is placed
- Check that the item is positioned where you want it.
- Open drawers, recliners, or sleeper mechanisms if applicable.
- Look over visible surfaces before the crew leaves.
- Save care tags, warranty papers, and receipts in one place.
Why it matters
Delivery day goes smoother when the home is ready. The crew can work safely, and your new furniture can look right from the first minute it enters the room.
