The calculator tests your furniture in all six possible orientations (W×H, W×D, H×D and their reverses) against each passage point to find the best way through.
Clearance = Door Opening − min(Furniture Orientation Dims) − Safety MarginFor tight fits, the calculator considers tilting the furniture diagonally. The diagonal depth equals √(a² + b²) where a and b are the two smaller dimensions, which can help clear door frames.
In Full Path mode, each checkpoint (front door, hallway, corner, stairs, elevator, room door) is evaluated independently. The overall verdict is determined by the tightest point.

An 84×36×40 inch sofa needs to pass through a 32×80 inch doorway.
→ Tight Fit or Likely Fails — diagonal tilt may be needed
A 36×70×34 inch refrigerator moving through a 38-inch wide hallway.
→ Likely Fits with 2 inch clearance
A 80×14×76 inch bed frame navigating a staircase with 36-inch landing.
→ Inconclusive — landing dimensions need verification
Measure every passage point along the entire delivery path from entrance to final room
Check both packaging dimensions and assembled dimensions — packaging is often larger
Measure the actual clear opening, not the door frame — subtract hardware protrusions
Before you buy or move — check if your furniture will actually fit through every doorway, hallway, staircase, and elevator along the way. Our Furniture Fit Calculator analyzes the entire delivery path and tells you exactly where problems might occur.
