Check the delivery route using the packaged dimensions and weight, not only the dimensions of the finished product. Ask how many boxes are supplied and whether any part arrives preassembled. Measure your entrance, hallway, stair turns and lift if relevant, allowing for the practical space needed to carry and turn a package. A box may fit through a doorway but be difficult to manoeuvre immediately afterwards.
Review the delivery service description so you understand where the order will be handed over; do not assume room-of-choice carrying or assembly is included. Plan suitable help for heavy or awkward packages and avoid attempting a lift you cannot manage safely. If the route is uncertain, explain the specific restriction to the seller before purchasing. Keeping packaging dimensions distinct from assembled dimensions helps prevent a tree that suits the room from becoming difficult to get into the home.
Record the narrowest doorway and the tightest turn as separate constraints. A long box may pass straight through the door but have no room to rotate in the hallway immediately behind it; a single doorway-width measurement misses that problem.
