What freight class is furniture, assembled?
Typically class 175–250 — around 3–6 lb/ft³.
This commodity is classified by DENSITY, which means there is no single correct class for it — the class depends on how your particular shipment is packed. The range above is what typical shipments measure, not a ruling.
Confidence: high. Well documented across multiple carrier and NMFC sources that agree. The binding answer is always the commodity's NMFC item as filed — this page is a planning estimate, not a classification ruling.
Why furniture, assembled rates this class
Assembled, bulky furniture is the classic low-density shipment. Density varies a lot with padding and frame — measure the actual crate.
Where 3–6 lb/ft³ lands on the current scale
| If density is | Class | Weight on a standard pallet |
|---|---|---|
| 2 – 4 lb/ft³ | 250 | 107 – 213 lb |
| 4 – 6 lb/ft³ | 175 | 213 – 320 lb |
| 6 – 8 lb/ft³ | 125 | 320 – 427 lb |
A typical furniture, assembled shipment spans more than one class band — which is exactly why quoting a single class for this commodity is unreliable. Measure the actual pallet.
How to get the real number
- 1.Measure the extreme outside dimensions of the loaded pallet — including any overhang and the pallet itself.
- 2.Weigh it loaded, pallet included.
- 3.Divide weight by cubic feet to get density in lb/ft³.
- 4.Look the density up on the July 19, 2025 scale — or let the calculator do all four steps.
