How do I measure the space to fit a chest of drawers in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the floor area where you'd like to put a chest of drawers. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. Make sure the tape is not diagonal, as otherwise you get a value larger than the reality. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask a friend to assist, or divide the distance 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 reposition the tape to complete the measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on the floor, you can position a pointy object like a pair of scissors there. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like pipes. Also it may be necessary to measure how high the space is wherever the ceiling is low like in loft rooms.

From the history of furniture: Brass and copper utensils Part 7

Public buildings were as badly off for lighting facilities as private, and churches were dependent on candles and oil lamps. Some rich parishes, like that of St. Michaels in Charleston, South Carolina, imported from England chandeliers of brass, which were hung by a chain from the ceiling, so that they could be raised or lowered. Some of these chandeliers held as many as forty-five candles, and it required constant snuffing to keep them in order. This same old chandelier in Charleston still hangs in St. Michaels, but within recent years it has been fitted for gas. [It was] worshipped both Washington and Lafayette, and it has seen pass beneath it victims of war and pestilence and has withstood fire and earthquake. Amid many other interesting relics which the church contains, the old chandelier still bravely holds its own.

So far all the lights shown did duty within doors. When one stepped abroad, so dark were the streets and so badly paved that, after cocking one's bonnet and throwing on a roquelo, a stout staff was a necessity.

In Scott's Somers' Tracts, 1685, under the head of "England's Wants," is the following with reference to the lights:

"There is wanting a law wherein, although not all England is concerned, yet a great part thereof is, that, in the capital city of England, not only all the streets and lanes should be kept clean, that all sorts of persons might walk as commodiously in winter as in summer, which is of late years brought to pass in that great and populous city of Paris, in France; but also, as is done in that city all the winter nights, in the middle of the streets there should be hanged out so many candles or lamps, as that all sorts of persons in this great trading city might walk about their business as conveniently and safely by night as by day."

Our philosophy

We want every one of us to live comfortably even if they only own a small space they call home. We scour the Internet to search among thousands of desks, cabinets, shelves, storage units, beds, armchairs and more by size, to find just the right one for you to go under the stairs to finally get some closet space, or to find that extra long sofa that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the bedroom door. From the hall to the living room, don't live around furniture - choose furniture that lives with you.

We are also present in many other regions. You can look for 55cm deep chests of drawers in Australia, “commodes et caissons à tiroirs - profondeur 55 cm” in France or 22 inch deep chests of drawers in the US.
