Make the comparison useful

Read the actual dimensions

The published dimensions are width 23.625 in, depth 9.5 in, height 70.875 in. Identify the finished outside edge before comparing it with a room measurement; a product name alone does not establish clearance.

Leave room to use it

Draw the footprint, then add the space needed for the real activity around it. Opening a drawer, moving a chair and passing a person are additional space requirements, not part of a product’s outside dimensions.

04 / Reference notes

A footprint calculation

The listed width and depth/length give a rectangular bounding footprint of 23.625 × 9.5 in, or 224.438 square in. This calculation describes a bounding rectangle only. It adds no walking clearance, opening allowance or installation space.

This is an editorial planning example, not a product test or manufacturer recommendation.
