Will a chair (89x91x89 cm) fit in a space?
Expert analysis
A chair measuring 35 in × 36 in × 35 in does not fit in a space, but it's about 5 in too large at the tightest point. One caveat: item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled.
- Binding axis
- Hallway width
- Tightest clearance
- 5 in over
- Orientations checked
- 6
- Result
- Hallway width exceeds the opening
It exceeds the opening at the tightest point.
Your chair will not fit through the hallway — and it is clearly over the limit at the tightest point.
Handling: The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work.
How the door-passage check works
A door is a 2D opening — width and height matter; depth (path length through the doorway) doesn’t.
- Generate all 6 dimension permutations of the item (3 axes × 2 flips).
- For each permutation, apply the door constraint: item_width ≤ door_width AND item_height ≤ door_height.
- Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance from each axis to leave room for human movement.
- Pick the permutation with the largest minimum-axis margin — that’s the orientation a mover would choose.
- Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js): FITS if margin ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT if 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT if 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.
Tolerance ±¼ in (6 mm) is applied implicitly (band promotion to FITS_VERY_TIGHT) — see the note below the orientation matrix.
Dimensions
- MEASUREDPath from entry to destination is straight with no turns
- MEASUREDFloor is level with no steps or thresholds
- MEASUREDCeiling height assumed 8ftnot measured
- MEASUREDUnresolvedhallway depth; hallway height; whether chair orientation is fixed or can be rotated/tilted
Space geometry
- Square corners and a flat floor
- No trim, fixtures, or hardware protruding into the opening
- Door swings fully open (90°+) and stays open during passage
Handling
- ±¼ in tape-measure tolerance applied
- 1.5 in handling clearance subtracted from raw margins before the verdict
- Item treated as rigid — cannot compress, bend, or disassemble.
