WillIVAR Shelving unit, pine, 89x50x179 cmfit in aVW Golf 2024?

The Golf boot is a useful hatchback space, not a cargo hold. The opening measures 104 cm wide by 78 cm high, and the floor runs 76 cm deep with the seats up. Fold the rear bench and that floor stretches to 148 cm, a gain of 72 cm, which is where the Golf earns its keep for longer loads. The floor stays about 101 cm across at its narrowest. The catch is length: upright, 76 cm fills fast, so anything past a metre needs the seats down. The sill sits at 68 cm with a 16 cm drop to the floor, so lift boxes over the lip rather than dragging them.

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.
