S211 Boot Storage Box Pointless?

[MercMagic]

I've just picked up my S211 and it has the boot box behind the rear seats. I have spend the weekend racking my brain as to what use this box is? You have to fold the seatbacks forward for access, hence it will never be used! Surely it is just taking up boot space?

Do any of you use this box or shall I just put it in the garage until I sell the car in the future?!

I find mine quite useful to be honest.

One of the most useful things in the already excellent car.

Really? I'm surprised by the comments. It is really not easy to access, especially with kiddy seats fastened to the back seat.

I cant see the point either. Especially as theres a retractable cover instead. And you have to remove it to use the boot seats.....

I don't have to remove it to use my boot jump seats.

I don't think you're doing it right....that's partly the point of the box....so you've got somewhere to store things when the seats are up.
