Most shoppers are looking for products with specific dimensions to fit a specific space. Accurate dimensions help shoppers select the right product and reduce the risk of a return. In the listing form, there is a section for dimensions with three fields:
- Width (side to side),
- Depth or length, depending on the orientation of the piece to where it rests (front to back),
- Height (bottom to top).
All three dimensions are mandatory and must be entered in inches only. The minimum amount for each field is 0.1”.
All measurements must be oriented to how the item will be positioned when in use, and must represent the fully assembled piece. Please measure your item according to the following guides:

Pro tip: If your listing contains more than one piece of a different size, enter the dimensions of the largest piece in the dimension field and all additional dimensions in the description. Our shipping calculations will be based on the largest item in the set + the number of total pieces.
If your item can be disassembled for shipping, please enter Shipping Dimensions of the item disassembled or box size on Part 3: The Logistics section of the listing form.
Category Specific Considerations:
Depending on the category of the item you are listing, you will be prompted to complete additional fields specific for each category. Not all of the additional fields are required, but the more fields you complete, the more compelling & accurate your listing will be.
Seating:
Tables:
Pro tip: if your table includes leaves to extend the surface area, be sure to account for them in the “number of table leaves” field within the category-specific measurements section.
Table Shape Field:
This dropdown field should reflect the shape of the surface of your table. Be as specific as possible with this field to help buyers find exactly what they’re looking for.
Shipping dimensions (optional):
If your item can be compressed, folded, or taken apart, enter the total size of the condensed item/set measurements in this field. Utilizing this field, when appropriate, can help decrease the cost of shipping considerably.
If you do not enter shipping dimensions, the required measurements field in section 2 will be used to calculate the cost of shipping.
