Beyond the headline number
Measure rails, slats, bolts, center supports, floor variation, and sagging points along the complete storage path.
Use total exterior height, not the main bin wall. Filled fabric can bulge beyond its empty dimensions.
The floor beside the bed must accommodate the container's full length or the angle needed to turn it.
Dimension questions

Yes. The listed exterior height should include them, but confirm the exact model dimensions.
Fabric can use less structural height and flex, while rigid bins offer more protection. Filled shape and sliding friction still matter.
