WillPOÄNG Armchair, birch veneer/Knisa light beigefit in aSkoda Octavia 2013?

For a car this size the Octavia boot is long. Seats up you get 43¾″ of floor, more than most family hatchbacks, with an opening 36⅝″ wide and a generous 33⅛″ tall. The narrow point measures 39¾″, so wide boxes clear comfortably. Fold the rear bench and the floor reaches 73⅝″, a gain of 29⅞″, which takes most long flat-pack cartons. The sill sits 28″ up with a 7⅞″ drop to the floor, so there is a step down inside. Push long boxes right to the front and they settle below the lip.

The POÄNG armchair ships as one flat box, 29 inches by 26 1/4 inches and only 2 3/4 inches thick, so it behaves like a large stiff panel rather than a bulky load. At 18 lb 1 oz it is light enough to carry one-handed, and the thin profile slides behind a front seat or flat across most boots. The awkward part is the width, not the weight: the panel will not flex, so do not wedge it into a curve. Lay it flat, protect the corners, and almost any hatchback or estate takes it without folding a seat.
