Enter your furniture dimensions and window measurements — the app checks opening size, disassembly options, and hoisting feasibility.
Whether it fits depends on measurements most people get wrong.
Furniture dimensions (or smallest disassembled piece) vs. window opening size
Item: Varies — measure your specific item and check if it can be disassembled
Space: Standard window (sash removed): 24–36" W × 36–60" H. Sliding glass door: 60–72" W × 80" H
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.
When the elevator won't work and stairs aren't an option, professional hoisting through a window is the last resort. Here's how it works and what it costs.
Removing a window sash adds 2–4 inches of clear opening. Here's how to safely remove different window types for furniture delivery.
Window delivery makes sense when: (1) stairs are too narrow or have impossible turns, (2) the elevator is too small or unavailable, (3) the item cannot be disassembled into smaller pieces, or (4) you live in a walk-up apartment with tight access. It's common in cities like New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Almost anything under 500 lbs — couches, mattresses, dressers, desks, bookshelves, large TV boxes, and even pianos. Professional hoisting companies have equipment rated for heavy loads. The window opening size and item dimensions determine feasibility, not weight (within reason).
Professional hoisting costs $300–$1,000+ per item depending on floor height, weight, and complexity. Some NYC moving companies include hoisting in their estimates. Cost per floor is typically $75–$150 above the base fee. Ground-floor window delivery is often free (just an alternate entry point).
Usually yes. Most buildings require advance notice (24–72 hours), proof of mover's insurance, and may require street permits if a crane or lift is used. Co-ops and condos often have stricter rules. Contact building management before scheduling window delivery.
