Read as 48" wide x 27" high x 16" deep — that is an actual product class (a low 6-drawer double dresser), and the numbers line up with the one piece that matches exactly (47.5 x 26.85 x 15.5). Read the other way (48 W x 27 D x 16 H) nothing retail exists — 27" deep is deeper than any 48"-wide chest on the Canadian market, and I checked Canadian Tire, Home Depot and IKEA. So the wide/low reading is the one that matches a real replacement.
1. Prepac Astrid 6-Drawer Dresser — the only exact-size match - 47.5"W x 26.85"H x 15.5"D (within ½" on every dimension) - $328 CAD at Home Depot Canada, model WDBR-0402-1-V, SKU 1001331948 - 6 drawers at 20.5"W x 4.5"H x 13.5"D → 4.32 cu ft of drawer volume - Metal glides with safety stops, tipping restraint included, made in Canada, 5-year parts warranty - Rating 3.3/5 (120 reviews) — the complaints are laminate chips in shipping and the assembly time (2-3 hours, two people). Available in Crystal White; the Espresso and Black variants are the same carcass - Ships flat-packed (56" x 18.75" x 5.25", 84 lb) — this fits inside the Odyssey with the third row down
2. Nexera Alegria 5606 6-Drawer — nearest alternative, slightly bigger everywhere - 48.13"W x 17"D x 28.38"H — 1.5" deeper and 1.4" taller than the slot - Metal glides, 1"-thick top, 5-year warranty, made in Canada, Natural Maple - ~$259 USD at US resellers; carried by Home Depot Canada (SKU 1000803331) — price not published on the page, confirm at the store. Reviews are harsher than the Prepac's (laminate peeling, drawers binding) - Take this only if the extra 1.5" of depth is genuinely available
3. Ruled out — Canadian Tire "Tvilum Portland 6-Drawer Dresser" 56.34"W x 26.89"H x 12.46"D. That is 8.3" too wide and 4" too shallow. It is the 6-drawer that comes up first at Canadian Tire and it will not fit.
IKEA has nothing at this size. Its 6-drawer units are 80 cm (31.5"), 108 cm (42.5") or 146 cm (57.5") wide. There is no 120 cm / 48" 6-drawer in the range.
The unit carried on its edge presents a 16" x 27" profile and is 48" long front-to-back.
- A standard interior door has ~29.5" of clear width and 78" of height. 16" x 27" passes with 13" to spare.
It also passes a 28" doorway.
- Turning a rigid 48" length through a 90° hallway corner: the maximum turnable length is
(a^(2/3) + b^(2/3))^(1.5). At a 30" hall that is 84.9", at 36" it is 101.8" — both far longer
than 48".
- Solving backwards, a 48" length needs a hallway only 17" wide to turn the corner.
- The 48" width only becomes a constraint if you try to carry it flat, which you cannot do through any
door in the house anyway — so carry it on its edge, styrofoam corners kept on.
Conclusion: no doorway or stair measurement is needed. Any real GTA house path takes this.
