About the VW Polo 2021 boot

The Polo boot is a supermini boot: short, fairly wide, and easy to load low. The opening is 36¼″ across but only 27⅛″ tall, so tall boxes are the first thing to catch. Seats up you get 26″ of floor, fine for a shop or a couple of cases, not for long cartons. Fold the bench and it opens to 54⅜″, a gain of 28⅜″. The good part is the floor: 40⅛″ wide at the narrow point and almost flush with the sill, just a 3⅛″ drop. With the sill at 27½″ you can slide flat boxes straight in without lifting over a lip.

About the ALEX Desk, white, 52x22 7/8 " package

The ALEX desk ships as one flat, rigid carton at 53¾″ by 26¾″ and only 3¼″ thick. The thinness helps, but two things make it awkward: the 53¾″ length and the 81 lb 2 oz weight in a single box you cannot split. It lies flat and low, so a hatchback with the rear seats folded, an estate or an SUV takes it easily, while a short saloon boot fights the length. Slide it in flat rather than upright, get a second person for the lift, and pad the leading corners against the boot lip.
