Yes, I know. It's like the opposite of "How long is a piece of string?", and the answer is "1666 cubic feet."
What I really want to know is, about how big of a box is that usually? How much furniture and such does one estimate can fit in that much space? Even better if someone has a web page that shows a visualization. I've been trying to find one, but cannot.

Run or download sketchup and create a cube that big? You can create solids there with a human to scale quite easily.zzm9980 wrote:Yes, I know. It's like the opposite of "How long is a piece of string?", and the answer is "1666 cubic feet."

Here's an online version that works on windows. https://spoon.net/apps/sketchup
I haven't tried it though because my current setup doesn't have my usual virtual machines which include Windows.

If for personal effects then moving companies can usually give you an approximation based on things like 'you can fit a family of 4, standard 3 bedroom house in it'.
Or they can tell you usually a living room, dining room and kitchen etc.

Yeah, they didn't.

Hmm that's quite large, and did help. Thanks!Strong Eagle wrote:Simple... 1666 is roughly 1600 cubic feet.
So...imagine a room with 8 foot ceiling, standard for most US homes.
With an 8 foot ceiling you need a room 10 ft wide and 20 ft long to get to 1600 cubic ft... 20 x 10 x 8.
If you had 10 ft ceilings, you need a room 16 ft x 10 ft to get to 1600 cubic ft.
