Will a piece of shelving (28x178x178 cm) fit through a 160 cm door?
Expert analysis
A piece of shelving measuring 11 in × 70 in × 70 in does not fit through a door, with about 2 ft 1 in to spare at the tightest point.
A piece of shelving measuring 11 in × 70 in × 70 in does not fit through a door, with about 2 ft 1 in to spare at the tightest point.
Your piece of shelving will not clear the space — but only just — it is a hair over the limit at the tightest point. The passage is the limiting constraint.
Handling: The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work.

Margins shown are calculated; allow ±¼ in for tape-measure precision.
A door is a 2D opening — width and height matter; depth (path length through the doorway) doesn’t.
Tolerance ±¼ in (6 mm) is applied implicitly (band promotion to FITS_VERY_TIGHT) — see the note below the orientation matrix.
