Will HAUGA Chest of 3 drawers, white, 70x46x84 cm fit in a Skoda Octavia 2013?

The Octavia gives you one of the longer boots in its class. Seats up the floor runs 111 cm, with a tall 84 cm opening and 93 cm of width to pass boxes through. The narrow point is 101 cm, so wide cartons rarely catch. Fold the rear bench and the floor reaches 187 cm, a gain of 76 cm, which swallows most long flat-pack boxes. The one thing to note is the sill: 71 cm off the ground with a 20 cm drop down to the floor inside. That deep well holds loads steady, so push long boxes to the front.

The HAUGA chest of drawers ships in two flat cartons, the larger 89 cm long, 47 cm wide and 12 cm thick. The shape is friendlier than most flat-packs: under a metre on the long side and slim enough to slot into a hatchback with the seats up. The pair weighs 38.5 kg combined, so it is a two-person lift. Most family cars handle it, even a city hatchback if the boot opening is at least 90 cm wide. Slide the larger carton in flat first, drop the smaller on top, and pad the corners against the trim.
