About the Alfa Romeo 159 2010 boot
The 159 gives you plenty of height at the opening and less width than you would like. The mouth measures 36⅝″ wide by 50¾″ tall, so tall boxes go in easily, and the floor matches it at 36⅝″ across its narrowest point. Length runs 40⅛″ with the seats up and 69⅝″ folded, a gain of 29½″. Wide, rigid cartons are the ones that fight you here. The sill is 30⅜″ off the ground with a 9⅞″ drop to the floor, so lift over the lip and lower, rather than sliding.
About the BILLY Bookcase, black oak effect, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2 " package
The BILLY bookcase comes as a single long, flat box: 81¼″ × 11¾″ × 5″ and 86 lb 15 oz. It is the length that catches you out, not the weight on its own. That long panel wants a flat floor, which on most cars means folding the rear seats first. The board is rigid and will not flex around a wheel arch or a short boot, so it has to lie straight. An estate, a folded-seat hatchback, or an SUV takes it comfortably. Load it long-edge first, keep it flat, and guard the corners, because a knock at this weight cracks the edge.
