Helpful tips

Use available cargo length
Push the package fully toward the seat backs to use all cargo length.
Load diagonally first

About the VW Golf 2024 boot
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.
About the MALM Chest of 6 drawers, white stained oak veneer, 160x78 cm package
MALM Chest of 6 drawers ships in three boxes, with the longest at 169 cm by 50 cm by 8 cm and around 70 kg of weight across the load. The longest panel is flat enough to slide along most boot floors, but at 169 cm it still asks for the rear bench to be folded in anything smaller than a long estate. Mid-size SUVs and estates handle this comfortably, hatchbacks need careful angling. Load the long box first along the centre line, then stack the smaller packages flat on top.
