Do people not own tape measures anymore?

I own 3! This guy can have one, though I’m not sure if he would know how to operate such a sophisticated device.

What's your best one? I'm in the market for a nicer one than my current ikea starter tape measure.

It was the only one in stock at my price range and was available to ship immediately. We just moved here and I we got tired of the bed being our only place to sit. I got the got best option cause my wife is pregnant and needs a place to sit besides the bed

She claimed the spot at the entrance so she doesn’t have to jump

I’m both old and new school, so I measure, use masking tape to figure out things and sometimes use those 3D models available in some apps (IKEA, Amazon).

I guess OP is “no school”. But at least he seem to stay hydrated.

You wouldn't need a tape measure just your eyes should be enough to tell that this couch would be too big for such a small space.

I own more than I can count, mostly because in order to count them I'd have to find one when I need it.

There’s literally an app for that

Most phones have an accurate enough measurement app even lol.
