About the BMW 1 Series 2020 boot
The 1 Series boot is short and low rather than deep. With the seats up the floor gives you 29½″, which is the constraint on most flat-pack runs, and the opening measures 37⅜″ wide by 26″ tall. Fold the rear bench and the floor almost doubles to 57½″, a gain of 28″. The floor is 40⅛″ across at its narrowest, so width is rarely your problem. The sill sits at 27½″ with a 3⅛″ drop, which makes this one of the easier hatchbacks to load. Fold the seats first, load long, then fill the gaps.
About the KALLAX Shelf unit, white, 30 1/8x57 5/8 " package
The KALLAX comes as a single flat carton, 59″ × 16″ × 6½″, and it carries real weight at 68 lb 5 oz for one box. It is a stiff, square-edged panel pack: not long enough to be unmanageable, but wide at 16″ and heavy enough that you will not want to hold it out at arm's length. A hatchback with the rear seats folded usually takes it, and an estate or SUV takes it without thinking. The weight is the thing to plan for. Keep it flat, slide it across the boot floor, and load it last.
