Furniture dimension dataset
This dataset lists the packed volume in cubic feet (cu ft) and typical loaded weight in pounds for 95 household items across 7 rooms. It is the source for every capacity figure on this site, and it is published openly so any of those figures can be checked.

What "packed" means
Packed volume is not the bounding box. It is the space an item consumes once loaded into a truck or a unit, including the space its shape makes unusable. A three-cushion sofa measures roughly 84 × 36 × 34 inches — a 59 cu ft box — but packs at 50 cu ft because it loads on end against a wall. A recliner is the reverse: nothing stacks on a curved back, so its packed figure exceeds its measured box.
This is the convention professional US movers use on a cube sheet, which means an estimate built from this dataset should line up with a mover's own survey rather than contradicting it.
