About the VW Polo 2021 boot

Boxes go into the Polo over a small step: the floor sits only 3⅛″ below the loading sill. Above that sill you get 24″ of clear height and 36¼″ of width at the tailgate opening, with 27⅛″ of height inside from the floor. The floor is 40⅛″ wide at its narrowest. Length is the catch, though: behind the rear seats you get just 26″, which suits one or two small boxes, and folding them adds 28⅜″ for 54⅜″, room for a long flat pack. Empty the boot before you shop, so the whole floor is free for the boxes.

About the FRIHETEN Sleeper sofa, Skiftebo dark gray package

Two long, heavy boxes make up this FRIHETEN sleeper sofa, both with the same 81¼″ × 36″ footprint. One is 14½″ deep and weighs 123 lb 7 oz; the other is 8¼″ deep at 102 lb 8 oz. Together that is 225 lb 15 oz, and neither box is a one-person lift. Each box needs 81¼″ of boot floor in a straight line, and 36″ across. Put a person at each end, hands under the base, and lift together on a count, so neither end drops while the other is still rising.
