About the VW Golf Variant 2025 boot
The loading sill of the VW Golf Variant 2025 boot is 24″ high, and the floor sits just 4⅜″ below it. The opening is 39⅜″ wide and clears 26⅜″ above the sill, while the boot is 30¾″ tall from its floor. The floor is the generous part: 42⅞″ long with the rear seats up and 73⅝″ with them folded. That leaves room for a row of smaller boxes. A tall box goes in upright only if it is under 26⅜″. To lay a box longer than 42⅞″ flat and lengthways, fold the seats before you start loading.
About the BILLY Bookcase, black oak effect, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2″ package
You get the black oak effect BILLY in a single box, 81¼″ long, 11¾″ wide and 5″ thick. It weighs 86 lb 15 oz, and over that length the weight is hard to control, so plan on two of you, one at each end. Lying straight, it needs 81¼″ of boot floor, though its width and thickness still matter. Lift together on a count, so neither of you takes the full weight, even for a second. Set it down the same way, both ends at once.
