Why These Are Only Starting Points

These are general rule-of-thumb sizes used across most self-storage facilities - actual space needed depends heavily on whether furniture is disassembled and stacked efficiently, or left fully assembled taking up much more floor area.

When to Size Up

Consider renting one size larger than recommended if you own oversized furniture (sectional sofas, large appliances), plan to add shelving inside the unit, or expect to need walking access to items rather than a tightly packed "cube" arrangement.
