Why this exists: most HK furniture vendors push you toward "yes, you need this" regardless. We made this self-assessment to give you the honest answer — including telling you NOT to buy if your situation doesn't fit. The questions are calibrated against our 9 real install case studies + ~100 install conversations over 4 years.
