Product Fit & Clearance Checker
Verify whether that prospective sofa, dining set, credenza, or bed will actually fit in your space. Tests 2D footprints, orientation rotations, minimum 36″ walking corridors, doorway turning limits, and obstacle clearances.

When purchasing large case goods or upholstered furniture, the most common return trigger is not that the piece cannot fit the room, but that it chokes primary circulation paths or cannot clear entry doorways.
The 36-Inch Architectural Clearance Rule
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and standard residential design guidelines specify a minimum corridor of 36 inches for comfortable two-way walking circulation. While secondary access corridors (such as between a bed and a wall or between a sofa and an end table) can occasionally compress to 30 inches, main walking corridors should never drop below 36 inches.
Checking Entry Doorways & Hallway Turns
Measure the narrowest entry point in your delivery path:
- Door Opening: Measure between the inner face of the door and the doorstop molding, not just the rough jamb.
- Hallway Width: Measure between opposite baseboards or handrails.
- 90° Turns: If a doorway enters immediately from a tight hallway, compare the sofa's diagonal depth (Diagonal Depth = sqrt(Depth² + Height²)) to the doorway width.
