FAQs

Are HAY Colour Crates safe for food storage?

Yes, HAY Colour Crates are made from food-safe recycled polypropylene, making them suitable for storing fruits, vegetables, and other food items.

Can I stack different sizes of Colour Crates together?

Absolutely. The crates are designed to stack harmoniously, allowing you to combine different sizes (Small, Medium, Large) to create customized and stable storage configurations.

How do I clean my HAY Colour Crate?

Cleaning is simple. Just wipe the crate with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and ensure it's thoroughly dried afterward.

What are the dimensions of the available sizes?

The available sizes are: Small (17cm W x 26.5cm D x 10.5cm H), Medium (26.5cm W x 34.5cm D x 14cm H), and Large (34.5cm W x 53cm D x 18.5cm H).

Are these crates foldable for compact storage?

Yes, a key feature of the HAY Colour Crates is their ability to fold flat, which is perfect for saving space when the crates are not in use.

What material is used to make the Colour Crates?

The crates are crafted from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic waste, specifically recycled polypropylene, making them an eco-friendly choice.

Can I use these crates in a child's room?

Yes, their durable, easy-to-clean, and lightweight nature makes them ideal for organizing toys, books, and art supplies in a child's room.

Troubleshooting

Crate feels unstable when stacked.

Ensure that crates are stacked squarely on top of each other. While different sizes can be stacked, proper alignment is key for stability. Avoid overloading the top crates with excessively heavy items.

Items are falling through the perforations.

The Colour Crate has a perforated design. For very small items like pens, beads, or tiny accessories, consider using a small internal container or a fabric liner within the crate to prevent them from slipping through.

Crate is difficult to fold or unfold.

Gently apply pressure to the folding points. Ensure there are no obstructions in the hinges. Over time, the plastic may become more flexible. Do not force it, as this could damage the plastic.

Stains or discoloration appear on the crate.

For most stains, a damp cloth with a mild dish soap should suffice. For tougher discoloration, a mixture of baking soda and water can be applied as a paste, left for a short period, then gently scrubbed and rinsed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Care

Maintaining your Colour Crate is straightforward:

Cleaning: Wipe the crate with a damp cloth. For tougher marks or spills, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly if using soap.
Drying: Allow the crate to air dry completely before storing items, especially food items, to prevent moisture build-up.
Storage: When not in use, the crate can be folded flat for compact storage, saving valuable space. Avoid storing in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent potential fading over time.
