WillMALM Bed frame, high, white/Luröy, Standard Doublefit in aVW T-Cross 2024?

The T-Cross boot is short behind the rear seats and much more useful with them folded. You get 66 cm of floor length seats up and 145 cm folded, a gain of 79 cm, so folding is not optional for anything bigger than luggage. The opening is 98 cm wide × 70 cm tall and the floor stays 100 cm across at its narrowest, which suits wide flat boxes and small furniture. Long flat packs are the weak spot. The sill sits 71 cm high with a 16 cm drop to the floor, so slide boxes in over the lip rather than lifting them over.

The MALM bed frame ships in four narrow cartons, the largest 194 cm long, 25 cm wide and 8 cm thick. The boxes are slim, which is the easy part. The length is the catch: 1.94 m sits awkwardly across most boots with seats up. A hatchback with the rear bench folded, an estate or an SUV is the safe bet. Combined weight is 48.3 kg across the four boxes, so it is a two-person lift. Stack the long boxes flat with the heaviest at the bottom, and slide the bundle in along the centre.
