About the VW Polo 2021 boot

The Polo boot is a supermini boot: short, fairly wide, and easy to load low. The opening is 36¼″ across but only 27⅛″ tall, so tall boxes are the first thing to catch. Seats up you get 26″ of floor, fine for a shop or a couple of cases, not for long cartons. Fold the bench and it opens to 54⅜″, a gain of 28⅜″. The good part is the floor: 40⅛″ wide at the narrow point and almost flush with the sill, just a 3⅛″ drop. With the sill at 27½″ you can slide flat boxes straight in without lifting over a lip.

About the IVAR Shelving unit, pine, 35x11 3/4x70 1/2 " package

The IVAR shelving unit packs into one long, slim box: 70 1/2 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide, and just 1 3/4 inches thick. At 6 lb 1 oz it is light, so the problem is never the weight, it is the length. That 70 1/2 inches of rigid pine will not bend around a wheel arch or a seat back, so a short boot forces it across the cabin at an angle. An estate or a hatchback with the rear seats down takes it easily. Load it flat and straight, thin edge up, and rest the far end against a seat back so it cannot slide when you brake.
