About the VW T-Cross 2024 boot
The T-Cross boot is a short, square space that grows a lot when you fold the rear seats. You get 26″ of floor length behind them and 57⅛″ with them down, a gain of 31⅛″, which is most of this car's usefulness in one move. The opening measures 38⅝″ wide × 27½″ tall and the floor stays 39⅜″ across at its narrowest, so wide flat boxes go in easily while anything long stays outside. The sill sits 28″ up with a 6¼″ drop to the floor, so slide heavy boxes over the lip instead of lifting them clear.
About the BILLY Bookcase, white, 31 1/2x11x79 1/2 " package
The BILLY ships as one long, flat carton, 81¼″ × 11¾″ × 5″, and it is heavier than it looks at 88 lb 1 oz. The shape is the awkward part: long and only 5″ thick, a rigid panel box that will not bend or fold around a wheel arch. That length rules out most boots with the seats up. You want an estate, a hatchback with the rear seats folded, or an SUV that gives a flat run past the front seats. Two people make this easy. Carry it on edge, slide it in low, and rest the leading edge on something soft.
