A block of lead 44.5 cm on each side (17.5") weighs 1 Tonne. Or for the Luddites, 44.7cm or 17.6" for 1 Ton.

Wouldn't that size figure be slightly different based on temperature and air pressure...

I would measure it but unfortunately its all gone we are waiting on another delivery. It was bunged in the smelter and cast into things that glow in the night.

It is normal practice to assume STP unless specified otherwise! And even for a 20 degree rise the difference would be lost in rounding!
