Setup
The HAY Colour Crate typically arrives folded flat to minimize packaging and shipping space. To set up your crate:
- Unfold: Gently pull the side panels upwards until they click into place, forming the rectangular crate shape.
- Secure Base: Ensure the base is fully extended and securely seated within the side panels. A firm press might be needed to lock it into position.
No tools or complex assembly are required, making setup quick and effortless.
Compatibility
These crates are designed for universal compatibility within the HAY Colour Crate system:
- Stacking: They are engineered to stack harmoniously with other HAY Colour Crate sizes, allowing you to create customized vertical storage solutions. The Small size (17cm W x 26.5cm D x 10.5cm H) can serve as a versatile component in any stack.
- Placement: The compact design fits seamlessly into various environments including shelves, tables, cupboards, or even open floor spaces in any room of your home or office.
Care
Maintaining your HAY Colour Crate is straightforward, ensuring its longevity and aesthetic appeal:
- Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt or spills, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. The recycled polypropylene is non-porous, preventing easy absorption of stains.
- Drying: Allow the crate to air dry completely before reusing, especially if it will be storing food items or moisture-sensitive objects.
- Durability: While the recycled polypropylene is durable, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or excessively hot water, which could potentially affect the material's color or structural integrity over prolonged use.
