How to measure the space to fit a bench in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure the width and the depth of the floor area where you'd like to place a bench. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the area, as otherwise you would overestimate the available space. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask someone else to help, or split what you need to measure into multiple parts. You can do this by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on your floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pair of scissors there instead. Don't forget to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like skirting boards. Also it may be necessary to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is uneven like spaces under the stairs.

Chiltern Oak Furniture

From the history of furniture: Chairs and sofas Part 7

According to Mr. Robinson: "The finest curl and figuring of the grain of woods is found in nearly all cases at that part of the tree where the division of the branches from the trunk commences. The best curl is found at the branching of two arms only, away from the trunk, this being less confused than that caused by the diver gence of several arms. A saw-cut made vertically across the tops of the two branching limbs down into the main trunk would exhibit that parting of the ways of the grain which is so valuable for the making of veneers."

The difference of weight between the finest Spanish mahogany and the inferior kinds is very great, a Chippendale-pattern chair in the fine wood being all a woman will care to lift. Tulip and satinwoods were the favourites for the old cabinet-makers to employ in inlaying, and the latter wood comes from a tree which may be found in India, Ceylon, and the West Indies. Tulipwood has the disadvantage of coming only in small pieces, and, besides, is often of such a reddish tone that it has not sufficient contrast to make it shoAAy enough for veneer on mahogany. Lancewood is a modern substitute for satimvood, and the shafts of old vehicles, like the " One Hoss Shay," are eagerly sought for cutting into strips.

With satin, tulip, lance, and " harewood," which is sycamore stained, ebony was in great demand. The strips of this latter wood are often only one thirty-second of an inch in thickness, and serve to mark the strip of light wood with better effect than if omitted.

Our philosophy

We want every one of us to live comfortably even if they only have a small space they call home. We search the Internet for thousands of tables, cabinets, shelves, shoe cabinets, beds, sofabeds and so on by size, to find just the right piece to go under the stairs to finally get a dressing corner, or to find that extra long bed that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the door. From the hall to the bedroom, don't live around furniture - buy furniture that lives with you.
