About the VW T-Cross 2024 boot
In the VW T-Cross 2024, folding the rear seats makes the biggest difference to the boot. With them up you get 26″ of floor. Folded, it gains 31⅛″ and runs to 57⅛″. The floor is 39⅜″ across at its narrowest. The tailgate opening is 38⅝″ wide and 21¼″ clear above a 28″ sill. Behind the sill the floor drops 6¼″, and measured from that floor the boot is 27½″ tall. With the seats up it takes small boxes, and some over 26″ long fit crosswise or at an angle on their side. The low opening rules out tall boxes standing upright. Lower each box off the sill by hand instead of letting it fall the 6¼″.
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.
