About the VW Polo 2021 boot

The Polo's rear seats decide what this boot can take. With them up, the floor is 66 cm long, enough for a box or two. Fold them and the floor gains 72 cm, reaching 138 cm, so a long box has far more room. The tailgate opening is 92 cm wide with 61 cm of clear height above the loading sill, and the boot measures 69 cm from the floor up. Inside, the floor stays 102 cm wide where it is narrowest, and the step down from the sill is only 8 cm. For a long box lying straight along the floor, the figure to remember is 138 cm. For a tall one, it is the 61 cm above the sill.

About the KALLAX Shelving unit, white, 182x182 cm package

Four long, flat boxes hold this KALLAX, 53.6 kg between them. Two measure 186 cm × 41 cm × 8 cm and weigh 10.85 kg and 11.1 kg. The other two are 178 cm × 40 cm × 7 cm, shorter but heavier at 15.75 kg and 15.9 kg. Lying flat and straight, the two longest need 186 cm of boot floor. On their sides and at an angle, they can fit in a shorter boot. A box this long and thin is hard for one person to keep level. Work in pairs instead, hands under the box near both ends, and keep it level until it is in the boot.

On pickup day

Folded or not, the VW Polo 2021 cannot take the KALLAX: with the rear seats up, its 186 cm box is 57.4 cm too big at the width of the boot opening. Fold the seats and the floor grows to 138 cm, but the box, on its side at an angle across the floor, is still 19.9 cm too big for the floor length with the rear seats folded. The practical answer is delivery, so you are not stuck with a box the Polo cannot take.
