Will KALLAX Shelving unit, white, 182x182 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 largest KALLAX box is 187 by 41 by 8 cm, and the unit ships across 4 flat packs totalling 56.8 kg. The 187 cm length is what most cars trip on, the 41 cm width is friendly. An estate with rear seats folded, a hatchback with the bench dropped, or any SUV usually fits the long boxes; sedans rarely will. Load the long packs first along the floor, stack the smaller boxes on top. Two people make the lift safer, and a blanket under the stack stops the laminate scuffing on the boot floor.
