Measuring Sofa Depth

There is often confusion on how to measure sofa (or chair depth). Here's the correct way to measure overall sofa depth. Drop a sight line from the furthest back point of the piece and mark that on the floor with a piece of tape, etc. On this yardstick, I used a nail in the hole while holding it so it was perfectly vertical (the camera lens makes it appear to NOT be perfectly vertical). Then measure the distance from the dropped line mark on the back to the to the most forward part of the piece. Now you have the correct depth measurement.
