Will a sofa (236x102x112 cm) fit in a room?
Expert analysis
A sofa measuring 7 ft 9 in × 3 ft 4 in × 3 ft 8 in does not fit in a room, but it's about 9.5 in too large at the tightest point.
It exceeds the opening at the tightest point.
Your sofa will not fit in the room — and it is clearly over the limit at the tightest point.

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.
Dimensions
No dimension-specific assumptions surfaced for this check.
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.
