Enter your desk dimensions and window measurements — the app checks opening size, disassembly options, and hoisting feasibility.
Whether it fits depends on measurements most people get wrong.
Desktop depth (24–30") vs. window opening width (sash removed)
Item: Standard desk: 48–72" W × 24–30" D × 29–30" H
Space: Standard window (sash removed): 24–36" W × 36–60" H opening
Actual clear openings are usually 1–2″ smaller than the labeled size.
Your exact dimensions probably aren't "standard." Small measurement errors cause big problems — 1 inch can be the difference between fitting and getting stuck.
Verdicts are calculated by comparing all 6 item orientations against the space dimensions using verified building code standards. See our methodology

Standard sizes say it works — but your measurements are what matter.
Install the free ItemFits extension — it reads product dimensions on IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon and tells you if it fits before you buy.
Window delivery isn't a last resort — in some cities it's standard practice. Here's when removing a window is the best (or only) option for getting furniture inside.
Not all windows are big enough for furniture delivery. Here's how different window types compare — and which ones give you enough clearance.

A disassembled desk often can. The desktop (24–30" deep) fits through a window opening of 24–36" wide with the sash removed. The desk frame (24–30" wide) also fits through most window openings. L-shaped desks must be separated at the corner joint first. Fully assembled desks are too wide for most windows.
Yes — always. A fully assembled desk is 48–72" wide, which won't fit through any standard window. But the desktop alone (48–72" × 24–30" × 1–2" thick) can be fed through the window lengthwise, and the frame fits separately. Most desktops detach with 4–8 bolts.
Yes. With two people and the desk disassembled, you can pass the desktop and frame through a ground-floor window without special equipment. Remove the sash, lay moving blankets over the sill, and feed each piece through lengthwise. The individual pieces are light enough (15–60 lbs) for hand passing.
Standing desk frames are 24–30" wide at the base and typically collapse to 24–28" tall at minimum height. The frame fits through most window openings with the sash removed. Move the frame and desktop separately. Electric lift columns do not need to be removed from the frame for window transit.
