How we work it out

Real volume, not catalogue volume

Every item carries the volume it takes up in storage: a bed counts as dismantled, because that is how it gets stored.

Stacking height: 2 m

Ground-floor units are 2.5 m tall and upper-floor ones 2.2, but nobody stacks to the ceiling without a ladder. We calculate on what really gets used.

+20% so you can move

A unit packed to the door is useless if you need to reach something at the back. That margin is built in.

Would you rather see examples than individual items? The size guide tells you what fits in each unit with real-world comparisons.
