Will IVAR Shelving unit, pine, 89x50x179 cm fit in a Honda CR-V 2024?

The CR-V's boot is a fold-and-go space. The opening is a generous 111 cm wide × 83 cm tall, but the floor behind it runs just 88 cm with the seats up, so long boxes stall early. Drop the bench and the picture changes: 186 cm of floor, a 98 cm gain that more than doubles the load length. Width holds up too, 101 cm at the narrowest point, so wide flat packs lie flat instead of tilting. The load lip sits at 70 cm with a step of just 1 cm down to the floor, effectively level, which lets you slide heavy boxes in rather than lower them. Only tall loads argue with the 83 cm height.

The IVAR shelving unit ships in three slim cartons, the largest 179 cm long, 9 cm wide and only 5 cm thick. At 7.3 kg combined this is a light load, but the 1.79 m length is what dictates the car. A hatchback with the rear bench folded, an estate, or anything with a long load bay will take it. Even a small car can manage if you slide the front passenger seat forward and rest the bundle along the diagonal. Load the boxes flat together as one stack, and tape the bundle to stop them fanning out.
