Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 30.9 cm too large
[why-details]
> Why it doesn't fit
The item exceeds the opening in every orientation — no rotation or tilt resolves this.
Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis)
Remaining clearance: -30.9 cm (-50%)

[maneuver-details]
> 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 · Medium Confidence
Assumptions
- Item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled
- No obstructions (light fixtures, handrails, trim, furniture) in the path
- Maneuver assumes one person carrying — no grip width accounted for
- Stairway handrails protrude a standard distance from the wall
- Standard stair dimensions assumed: 178mm (7") riser, 254mm (10") tread, 2032mm (80") headroom
- Some dimensions were estimated — not provided by you. Verify before proceeding.
- Detected mattress, size: queen
- Estimated depth, height from local_db (depth, height not provided by user)
- Assumed standard stair width: 36"
- Standard stair geometry assumed: 178mm riser, 254mm tread, 2032mm headroom
- Handrail protrusion: 75mm per side (150mm total)
- Stair slope: ~35° (178mm rise / 254mm run)
- Tread nosing overhang: 25mm reduces effective tread depth

Step-by-step proof (best: upright front-first)
1. Width: 0 cm item > 0 cm opening → ✗ (0 cm clearance)
Limiting: stair_headroom at -30.9 cm
