How MoveSize treats this item
MoveSize stores a planning volume of 2.05 m³ and planning weight of about 120 kg for one 4-door wardrobe. The default dismantling factor is 0.40, reducing raw planning volume from 2.05 to 0.82 m³ before packing allowance.
Normal DIY packing allowance
With the site's normal DIY packing multiplier of 1.14, one item contributes about 0.93 m³ under the default dismantling setting. That is roughly 6.0% of the practical volume allowance of the site's 3.5t Luton class.
Why this is not a fit guarantee
Cubic volume does not describe shape. Doorways, stair turns, lifting access, fragile surfaces and whether an item can actually be dismantled all matter.
