  • Load diagonally first

    Load diagonally first, then straighten once inside.

About the Citroen C3 2023 boot

In the C3's boot, the opening is the part to plan around. It is 34⅝″ wide with 22″ of clear height above the loading sill, while behind it the boot is 31⅛″ tall from its floor and the floor is 37¾″ wide at its narrowest. So a tall box has to lie down, even with more room inside. The sill is 30¾″ high, with the floor 9″ below it. The floor is 26⅜″ long with the rear seats up, which suits small boxes. Folding them gives you 53½″ of floor (27⅛″ more) for flat packs. Measure your box's height against that 22″ before you lift it.

About the KALLAX Shelf unit, white, 43 7/8x57 5/8″ package

Two boxes of equal length make up this KALLAX. One is 56½″ × 16″ × 5″ at 53 lb, the other 56½″ × 16¼″ × 4¾″ at 43 lb 3 oz. Measured along the floor, the boot has to give 56½″ for either box to lie straight. Thin boxes like these offer your hands little to hold, so most of the effort is the weight. Because they share a length, stacking them for one trip is tempting. Resist it: that is 96 lb 3 oz in a single lift. Carry them one at a time.
