Maximum dresser size
Enter the measurements above to calculate maximum dresser size.
How the calculation works
V12 calculation: maxWidth=max(0,wallWidth-2×sideMargin); widthPass=maxWidth>0; operatingDepth=dresserDepth+drawerExtension+walkway; depthPass=operatingDepth≤roomDepth; overallPass=widthPass AND depthPass. This is the implementation rule for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Available wall width = 300 cm; Available room depth = 360 cm; Side margin each side = 30 cm; Candidate dresser depth = 60 cm; Drawer extension = 50 cm; Required walkway = 50 cm. Result: Max Width = 240 cm; Overall Pass = Pass; Depth Pass = Pass; Operating Depth = 160 cm.
