What we used · Low Confidence
Opening: 82 cmW × 234 cmH
Item: couch — smallest cross-section 56 cm (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

| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✓ ← | 56×104 cm (sideways) | 22.2 cm | 126.2 cm | |
| ✓ | 56×221 cm (front/back) | 22.2 cm | 9.2 cm | |
| ✗ | 104×56 cm (sideways) | -25.8 cm | 174.2 cm | too_wide |
| ✗ | 104×221 cm (laid flat) | -25.8 cm | 9.2 cm | too_wide |
| ✗ | 221×56 cm (front/back) | -142.8 cm | 174.2 cm | too_wide |
| ✗ | 221×104 cm (laid flat) | -142.8 cm | 126.2 cm | too_wide |
Step-by-step proof (best: 56×104 cm)
1. Width: 59.8 cm item ≤ 82 cm opening → ✓ (22.2 cm clearance)
2. Height: 107.8 cm item ≤ 234 cm opening → ✓ (126.2 cm clearance)
Limiting: width at 22.2 cm
