About the Volvo XC40 2023 boot
The floor of the Volvo XC40 2023 boot runs flush with the loading sill, so nothing drops away behind it. The catch is how high that sill is: every box has to go up to 29½″ before it slides in. Through the tailgate you get an opening 41¾″ wide and 28¾″ high, then 35⅞″ of floor with the rear seats up, 39¾″ across at the narrowest point. The floor takes a few boxes at a time. Folding the seats adds 30¼″ and takes the floor to 66⅛″, though some boxes longer than 35⅞″ fit with the seats up, at an angle on their side. Get help with a heavy box rather than lifting it that high alone.
About the BILLY Bookcase, oak effect, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2″ package
Heavy and long is a hard mix, and the oak effect BILLY box is both: 81¼″ × 11¾″ × 5″, at 87 lb 5 oz. It is narrow, but that is far too much weight over that length for one person. Placed straight, the box spans 81¼″ of boot floor. Plan the lift before you make it: who takes which end, which way you walk, and where the box goes down. With 87 lb 5 oz between you, neither of you should have to change grip halfway.
