About the Aiways U5 2021 boot
The U5 is one of the easier boots to load. The opening is 101 cm wide by 76 cm tall, the floor runs 104 cm with the rear seats up and 186 cm folded, a gain of 82 cm, and the width between the arches is 102 cm. Nothing pinches: the mouth is almost as wide as the floor, and the sill sits 76 cm up with a 2 cm drop, so the bed stays flat from the bumper. Long boxes and multi-package loads suit it well. Fold the bench first and load straight down the middle.
About the BILLY Bookcase, white, 40x28x202 cm package
The narrow BILLY ships as one flat-pack box, 207 cm long, 39 cm wide and just 6 cm thick. The length is what limits you: 2.07 metres clears most estate boots with seats folded and many SUVs, but a typical hatchback opening will not let it through diagonally. At 24.3 kg one strong adult can manage the lift. Slide it in through the boot first, narrow edge leading, and keep the panel flat on the floor. Protect the bottom corner with cardboard, the white laminate marks easily on rough boot lips.
