A 10x10 unit holds about a one-bedroom apartment. Enter your furniture and box list to see what fits and where floor space runs out.
The honest answer is "it depends on your list," because two one-bedroom apartments can differ by a sectional. Enter your actual items instead of trusting a generic room count.

Real openings run about 1 to 2 inches under the labeled size, and a single inch can flip the result. Check your own measurements before you buy or move.

Frequently asked
A 10x10 unit (100 sq ft, about 800 cu ft with the 8 ft ceiling) typically holds the contents of a one-bedroom apartment: a sofa, queen bed, dresser, small dining set, and roughly 20 to 30 boxes if you stack carefully.
01Usually not. A two-bedroom load with two beds, a sectional, and dining furniture fills the floor before the height. A 10x15 or 10x20 is the safer choice for two bedrooms.
02Loaded with boxes only and stacked to the ceiling, a 10x10 can hold roughly 150 to 250 medium boxes. A realistic mixed load of furniture plus boxes holds far fewer, often 20 to 40 boxes around the furniture.
