Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 18" 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: 18" (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 · Low 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
- Ceiling height assumed 8ft (2438mm) — not measured
- Some dimensions were estimated — not provided by you. Verify before proceeding.
- Estimated height from local_db (height not provided by user)
- Assumed standard stair width: 36"
- Basic width check only — ceiling clearance, tread depth, and turn geometry not analyzed
- Complex tilting/pivoting not analyzed
- Handrail reduces effective width by ~150mm
All orientations tested (1 orientation)
| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✓ ← | 254mm (smallest dimension) | — | — | |
Step-by-step proof (best: 254mm (smallest dimension))
1. Width: 0" item > 0" opening → ✗ (0" clearance)
Limiting: stair_width at 18"
*Measure your specific space to confirm — dimensions vary.*
