Will DÄNKA Ironing board, 47 ¼x14 ½ " fit in an Opel Astra 2022?

The Astra gives you a compact hatchback boot built around a 37⅜″ wide by 28″ tall opening. Seats up, the floor runs only 28¾″ deep, so it suits shopping, cases and smaller flat boxes rather than long loads. Fold the rear bench and the floor stretches to 60⅝″, a gain of 31⅞″, which is where this boot earns its keep for flat-pack runs. The narrow point across the back is 40⅛″, and the lip sits 27⅛″ off the ground with a 5⅛″ drop to the floor. Long boxes go in on the diagonal through that 37⅜″ opening, so measure the opening, not just the boot.

One box, 60″ × 15½″ × 2¼″, at 12 lb 8 oz: the DÄNKA is light enough to carry one-handed and long enough to be awkward anyway. Weight is not the problem; length is. A 60″ slab will not sit crosswise in a normal trunk, so it rides diagonally or waits for a folded seat. Nearly any hatchback takes it with the bench down, a wagon or SUV swallows it flat, and it can angle across the rear seat of a sedan in a pinch. Feed it nose first through the opening and keep it supported along its length; a carton only 2¼″ thick flexes if you bridge it, and the corners dent before anything else.
