Measurements are estimates
Sofaplot helps you judge whether furniture will fit before you buy it. It is a planning aid, not a guarantee. Always measure.
What fit checks are based on
- The listed size of each piece. Dimensions come from the retailer's product data, or from what you typed for a piece you built. Listings can be rounded, out of date or wrong, and the same model can vary between production runs.
- The room you entered. Walls, doors, windows and built-ins are only as accurate as the measurements you gave. Real rooms are rarely perfectly square, and baseboards, trim, radiators, outlets and uneven floors all take up space Sofaplot may not know about.
- Simple shapes. Each piece is modeled as a simplified block built to its overall width, depth and height. Arms, cushions, legs, recliner mechanisms and doors that open can need more room than the block shows.
Delivery checks
The doorway check compares a piece's smaller dimensions with the narrowest opening you entered. Getting furniture into a room also depends on hallway turns, stair width and headroom, railings, door hardware and whether legs or backs come off, none of which Sofaplot can measure. "Tilt through" means it might fit when tipped on end; it does not mean it will.
Prices
Prices in Sofaplot are estimates. They come from retailers' catalog feeds or from sample data, not live from stores, so they may be out of date or not match the real product price. Pieces marked as samples in the demo catalog are not real products, and their prices are made up. Totals, budgets and comparisons use these estimates and don't include delivery, assembly or tax. Always check the price with the retailer before you buy.
Photo view
Furniture drawn over your photo is placed from the floor points you matched. It is a visual preview, and small errors in the matched points shift the result. Don't take measurements from it.
Before you buy
- Measure the space where the piece will go, including clearance to walk around it and to open doors and drawers.
- Measure every doorway, hallway, stairway and turn on the way in, and compare them with the piece's height, depth and diagonal depth.
- Check the retailer's listed dimensions and delivery and return policies.
No guarantee
Sofaplot does not guarantee that any item will fit in your room or can be delivered, and is not responsible for purchases, returns, delivery fees or damage based on its results. Prices, availability and product details come from retailers and may change; check with the retailer before you buy. Products marked as samples in the demo catalog are not real products.
