Will a dresser (79x52x76 cm) fit in a room?
Expert analysis
A dresser measuring 31 in × 21 in × 30 in does not fit in a room, but it's about 5.5 in too large at the tightest point. One caveat: item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled.
- Tightest clearance
- 5.5 in over
- Result
- A recorded check does not clear
It exceeds the opening at the tightest point.
Your dresser will not fit in the room — 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 room-fit check works
A room is a 2D footprint — width and depth matter for placement, plus the walkway gap left between the item and walls or other obstacles.
- Place the item footprint inside the room rectangle in the orientation it will be used.
- Compute walkway gaps from each item edge to every wall and to other obstacles in the room.
- Take the minimum walkway gap — that’s the daily-traffic clearance the room must support.
- Verdict ladder (getRoomVerdictTier): walkway <18 in DOESN'T_FIT; 18–24 VERY_TIGHT; 24–36 TIGHT; 36–48 FITS; ≥48 confident FITS.
Walkway thresholds use standard ergonomic minimums; a confident mover may negotiate gaps tighter than the recommended tier.

Space geometry
- Square corners and a flat floor
- Existing furniture footprints already factored out of the usable area
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.
