Expert Analysis
✕ Does not fit — 0.8" 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 0.8" of raw clearance — below the 1.5" practical tolerance.
Tightest point: Item vs Opening (width axis)
Remaining clearance: 0.8" (2.2%)

> 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

What we used · Low Confidence
Opening: 34.8"W × 79"H
Item: Standard 3-seat sofa (84"×35"×34") — smallest cross-section 34" (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
- Some dimensions were estimated — not provided by you. Verify before proceeding.
- Detected sofa, size: medium
- Estimated depth, height from local_db (depth, height not provided by user)
- Applied 38mm practical clearance for handling
All orientations tested (7 orientations)
| | Orientation | Width | Height | Note |
|---|------------|-------|--------|------|
| ✓ ← | 34×36" (sideways) | 0.7" | 43" | |
| ✓ | 34.6×36.6" @ 1° (sideways) | 0.2" | 42.4" | |
| ✗ | 36×34" (sideways) | -1.2" | 45" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 34×84" (front/back) | 0.7" | -5" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 36×84" (laid flat) | -1.2" | -5" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 84×34" (front/back) | -49.3" | 45" | too_wide |
| ✗ | 84×36" (laid flat) | -49.3" | 43" | too_wide |
Step-by-step proof (best: 34×36")
1. Width: 34" item ≤ 34.8" opening → ✓ (0.7" clearance)
2. Height: 36" item ≤ 79" opening → ✓ (43" clearance)
Limiting: width at 0.8"
