About the Opel Astra 2022 boot
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.
About the KALLAX Shelf unit, white, 43 7/8x57 5/8 " package
The KALLAX shelf unit arrives as two packages, and the larger one measures 56½″ long, 16″ wide and 5″ thick. That length is what decides the car. The whole order weighs 95 lb 3 oz, so it is a two-person lift even though the boxes look thin. Flat-pack board has no give, so you cannot bend it around a wheel arch or a seat back. An estate or an SUV with the rear bench down handles it comfortably. Load the long box first, on its edge and angled towards the far corner, then slide the second one alongside.
