Will it get through the door?
Enter the packed or assembled size of the table, then the doors, corners and stairs on the way in. We check each pinch point, including the length that turns a hallway corner.
How the checker decides
For each doorway and staircase, the two smallest sides of the item must fit the opening. For a corner, the tool finds the longest item of that thickness that can be carried round on its edge, and allows a little extra if one end can be tilted towards the ceiling. Real routes have handles, banisters and light fittings, so treat anything marked very tight as a no until a retailer has checked it.
Read the delivery route guide for what to measure and what to ask the retailer. For heavy items, always use the retailer’s delivery and installation team.
Questions
How wide is a standard UK internal door?
Common internal door leaves are 686 mm, 762 mm and 838 mm wide. The clear opening between the door stops is a few centimetres less, so always measure your own.
Does a slate pool table come in one piece?
Slate beds usually come in one piece or three sections, depending on the table. Ask the retailer which you are getting, and the size and weight of the largest piece.
What if the table will not go round my hallway corner?
Ask whether it can arrive flat-packed or in pieces, whether legs or rods can be removed, or whether a wider door, such as patio doors, can be used.
