Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 1" too large
[why-details]
> Why it doesn't fit
No orientation clears the opening with practical handling margin. When laid on its side, longest dimension passing through, there is 1" of raw clearance — below the 1.5" practical tolerance.
Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis)
Remaining clearance: 1" (3.5%)

> 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

> Effort required
Safety margin: Minimal
Operational expectation: Careful maneuvering required. Protect edges and watch for obstructions. Two people recommended for safe handling.

What we used · Low Confidence
Opening: 29"W × 90"H
Item: desk — smallest cross-section 28" (estimated)
*Rotation required: laid on its side, longest dimension passing through*
Assumptions
- Item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled
- Space has perfectly square corners and flat surfaces
- No obstructions (light fixtures, handrails, trim, furniture) in the path
- Door opens fully (90° or more) and stays open during passage
- Applied 38mm practical clearance for handling
All orientations tested (7 orientations)
| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✓ ← | 28×30" (sideways) | 1" | 60" | |
| ✓ | 28×68" (laid flat) | 1" | 22" | |
| ✓ | 28.5×30.5" @ 1° (sideways) | 0.5" | 59.5" | |
| ✗ | 30×68" (front/back) | -1" | 22" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 30×28" (sideways) | -1" | 62" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 68×30" (front/back) | -39" | 60" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 68×28" (laid flat) | -39" | 62" | too_wide |
Step-by-step proof (best: 28×30")
1. Width: 28" item ≤ 29" opening → ✓ (1" clearance)
2. Height: 30" item ≤ 90" opening → ✓ (60" clearance)
Limiting: width at 1"
