Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 3 cm too large
[why-details]
> Why it doesn't fit
No orientation clears the opening with practical handling margin. When rotated, there is 3 cm of raw clearance — below the 3.8 cm practical tolerance.
Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis)
Remaining clearance: 3 cm (4%)

> How to make it work
The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work. Consider these alternatives:
- Disassemble the item if possible
- Check for wider doors or windows
- Consider professional movers with pivot techniques

What we used · Low Confidence
Opening: 75 cmW × 190 cmH
Item: couch — smallest cross-section 72 cm (estimated)
*Rotation required: rotated*
Assumptions
- Item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled
- Space has perfectly square corners and flat surfaces
- No obstructions (light fixtures, handrails, trim, furniture) in the path
- Door opens fully (90° or more) and stays open during passage
- Applied 38mm practical clearance for handling
All orientations tested (8 orientations)
| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✓ ← | 72×152 cm (front/back) | 3 cm | 38 cm | |
| ✓ | 72×92 cm (sideways) | 3 cm | 98 cm | |
| ✓ | 73.6×93.2 cm @ 1° (sideways) | 1.4 cm | 96.8 cm | |
| ✓ | 74.6×153.2 cm @ 1° (front/back) | 0.4 cm | 36.8 cm | |
| ✗ | 92×72 cm (sideways) | -17 cm | 118 cm | too_wide |
| ✗ | 92×152 cm (laid flat) | -17 cm | 38 cm | too_wide |
| ✗ | 152×72 cm (front/back) | -77 cm | 118 cm | too_wide |
| ✗ | 152×92 cm (laid flat) | -77 cm | 98 cm | too_wide |
Step-by-step proof (best: 72×152 cm)
1. Width: 72 cm item ≤ 75 cm opening → ✓ (3 cm clearance)
2. Height: 152 cm item ≤ 190 cm opening → ✓ (38 cm clearance)
Limiting: width at 3 cm
