Measure the narrowest door or hallway the box must pass through. Flat-pack delivery — check access points.

Skirting Board Clearance
If placing against a wall with skirting boards, check the board depth. The bookcase needs a flush wall surface.

Wall Type for Anchoring
Confirm wall material (plasterboard, brick, etc.) if using the anti-tip hardware. Different wall types need different fixings.
