In a compact Germiston home, a sofa that looks perfect online can still get stuck at a narrow passage or a tight doorway turn. This page is a measuring guide for smaller homes, plus Gauteng delivery pricing for Germiston addresses.
Germiston Delivery Pricing
Germiston is in Gauteng. Delivery is free for orders above R10,000 and R500 for orders of R10,000 or less.
We don’t have a Germiston branch or showroom, nor stock or collection there. You order online; in-person consultations and collection are possible only at our Sandton address, by prior arrangement.
Why Measuring Matters More in Compact Homes
A room may have space for a piece while the route to it doesn’t. The tightest point is often a passage between rooms, a doorway placed close to a corner, or a security gate that narrows the front entrance. Measuring the whole route before you order avoids disappointment on delivery day.
Doorway and Passage Measuring Guide
- Doorways: measure width between the frames with the door fully open. Note any security gate, door stop or hinge that sticks into the opening.
- Height: measure doorway height too — relevant for tall headboards and upright pieces.
- Passages: measure the width along the full length. Look for light switches, cupboards or radiators that narrow it.
- Turns: where a passage turns into a room, measure the space available for a long item to pivot.
- Compare: write your figures beside the listed product dimensions and send anything close to us on WhatsApp.
Furniture Choices for Smaller Rooms
- A storage bench gives seating and storage in one piece.
- A chest of drawers can be easier to fit than bulkier storage.
- Choose a sofa by measuring your wall and the walkway in front of it, not just the room.
- A compact coffee table keeps a small lounge usable.

When a Piece Is Slightly Too Big
If your measurements show a design is just too large, ask whether a smaller size is possible — size, colour and fabric changes can be discussed on selected products. Send the product link and your measurements via Furniture Customisation; we confirm feasibility and pricing before production.

Security Gates and Burglar Bars
Many homes have a security gate in front of the main door, and it can reduce the usable width of the entrance more than you might expect once it’s open. Measure the opening with both the door and the gate fully open, and check whether the gate folds back flat or leaves a section projecting into the space. If the back door or a sliding door offers a wider route, note that as well. Burglar bars on windows don’t usually affect delivery, but a gate across a passage inside the home might — measure that too if the piece has to pass through it.
Warranty
All Germiston orders include our 6-Month Quality Warranty for qualifying manufacturing defects — details on Delivery & Quality Warranty.
Germiston FAQs
Which measurement is most often forgotten?
The turn from a passage into a room. A piece can fit through each doorway on its own but struggle at the angle between them.
Can I send you photos of my passage?
Yes — send photos with your measurements and the product name on WhatsApp before ordering.
Can a sofa be ordered in a smaller size?
Size changes can be discussed on selected products; we’ll confirm what’s possible and the price.
Is there a Germiston collection point?
No. Our Sandton office is the only collection point, and collection must be booked ahead.
