Will VITTSJÖ Shelf unit, black-brown/glass, 39 3/8x68 7/8 " fit in a Skoda 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.

VITTSJÖ ships as one long, flat carton, 79¼″ × 15¼″ × 3½″ and 60 lb 12 oz. The length is the awkward part: a rigid flat-pack just under 80 inches that will not bend around a tight boot mouth, and there is glass inside, so the box does not forgive a hard knock. A car that takes it easily is an estate, an SUV, or a hatchback with the rear seats folded flat. In anything smaller, load it diagonally from a folded seat back toward the boot, longest edge leading, and rest it on a blanket. Keep it printed side up so the glass shelves stay flat, and slide it in rather than drop it.
