FAQ
Furniture measurement questions
When a Lovegobuy sheet gives a dimension without a clear label, the next step is to identify what it describes. These answers explain which questions arithmetic can settle and which need additional measurements.
Understanding the numbers
- Can I use seat width as sofa width?
- Use overall width for the floor footprint. Seat width describes a different part of the sofa and may exclude arms or other structure. If only a seat dimension appears, ask for the outer assembled measurements and keep the field open until you receive them.
- What if the numbers have no unit?
- Do not infer centimetres or inches from a photo. Copy the original label and request the unit. After confirmation, convert the full set consistently. Keep both the source figure and converted figure so a transcription error can be traced.
Reading the result
- What does an exact fit mean?
- A zero margin means the entered rectangles touch on at least one axis. It leaves no numerical spare space there. Real dimensions, protrusions and measurement uncertainty still matter, so this output should trigger a closer check rather than a confident placement decision.
- Can the rotated result prove a turn is possible?
- No. The rotated calculation simply swaps width and depth at the final location. It does not model the path of a rigid object through a corner, its height, or the room needed by people moving it. Ask for a route assessment when those questions determine access.
Handling missing details
- Should I enter box dimensions in the calculator?
- For final placement, enter assembled dimensions. Keep box sizes in the delivery record. If the item is moved in packaging, the package controls that part of the journey; if it is unpacked elsewhere, confirm the actual handling plan with the responsible team.
- Can removable legs solve a narrow opening?
- Only if the manufacturer or seller confirms what can be removed and how. Do not assume a part is detachable from a photograph. Record the approved configuration and revised measurements, and consider assembly space at the destination before changing your plan.
Supporting guidance
When two sources disagree
Preserve both observations rather than averaging them. A listing, a diagram and a seller message may describe different variants or different measurement states. Record their dates and labels, then ask which figure applies to your exact selection.
For example, one width may describe a carton while another describes the assembled cabinet. That difference is explainable only after the states are identified. If both claim to be the same overall width and remain inconsistent, pause the calculation and ask for clarification.
- Attach the exact option text, original dimension label and relevant diagram to your question.
- Keep an unresolved field marked unknown; a blank field is more honest than a plausible-looking estimate.
Recheck the inputs before changing the result
A calculator cannot repair an ambiguous source. Return to the record, identify the dimension state and recalculate only after the question is resolved.
