How do I correctly measure the space for a tall cabinet pull-out?

Before buying or installing a tall cabinet pull-out, it is important to measure the space correctly to ensure that your new piece of furniture fits perfectly. To do this, you need to measure the height, width, and depth of the available space.

• Measure the height: Start at the lowest point of the floor and measure up to the highest point of the ceiling. Be sure to take any unevenness in the floor or ceiling into account. It may be useful to take two measurements: one directly where the cabinet will be placed and another, if necessary, at the back wall to see whether the height differs there.
• Measure the width: Measure the width of the room from one wall to the other. Measure at several points to make sure the walls are parallel. Also take into account any door or window frames in front of which the cabinet might stand.
• Measure the depth: Finally, measure the depth of the room from the wall to the point up to which the cabinet may extend. Make sure that doors or drawers can open fully and that there is still enough space to walk past.

As a general rule, you should take each measurement two to three times to avoid measurement errors and ensure accuracy.
