Crafted from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic, this vibrant, perforated crate offers flexible organization for any room, seamlessly blending a trendy industrial aesthetic with practical functionality.

FAQs

Is this crate suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions may affect the plastic's color and integrity over time. It is primarily designed for indoor organization to maintain its aesthetic and structural quality.

What are the exact dimensions of the Small size?

The Small HAY Colour Crate measures 17cm (W) x 26.5cm (D) x 10.5cm (H). These compact dimensions make it ideal for smaller items or spaces.

Can I mix and match colors and sizes when stacking?

Yes, HAY Colour Crates are specifically designed to harmoniously stack with various sizes and colors, allowing you to create customized and aesthetically pleasing organizational systems.

Is the recycled plastic safe, especially for food?

Absolutely. The crates are made from 100% recycled post-consumer polypropylene and are certified food-safe, making them perfectly suitable for storing edible items directly.

How do I fold the crate for storage when not in use?

To fold, gently unclip or unlock the side panels by pressing slightly inward or outward (depending on the design), then carefully push the walls inward and flatten the base. This allows for compact storage.

Are there any weight limits for the small crate?

Info needed: While very durable, it's recommended to avoid excessively heavy items that could strain the structure or compromise stacking stability. Distribute weight evenly across the base for optimal performance.

Will the color fade over time?

Info needed: While generally resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause some color fading over a very long period. For best results, store in areas away from continuous direct UV exposure.

Troubleshooting

Crate is unstable when stacked.

Ensure all crates in the stack are fully unfolded and locked securely into place. Place heavier items at the bottom of the stack. Verify that the surface beneath the stack is flat and level to prevent wobbling.

Crate doesn't fold flat easily.

Check for any resistance or misaligned edges. Gently press down on the base while simultaneously releasing the side locking mechanisms (if applicable to your crate's specific folding design). Avoid forcing it.

Discoloration or persistent odor.

For discoloration, try cleaning with a paste made from baking soda and water. For odors, wash thoroughly with mild soap and water, then air dry in a well-ventilated area for an extended period. Ensure all food residues are removed promptly.

Crate seems flimsy or sides collapse easily.

Double-check that all four side panels are properly locked into their upright position. Sometimes an audible 'click' indicates secure locking. Ensure the base is firmly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly construction from 100% recycled plastic
  • Maximizes space with stackable and foldable design
  • Durable and robust for everyday use
  • Adds a modern, decorative touch to any space
  • Food-safe, extending its utility to kitchen storage
  • Simple to clean and maintain

Cons

  • Perforated sides may not secure very small loose items without an additional container
  • Industrial aesthetic might not complement all interior design styles
  • Specific size (Small) may be too compact for bulkier storage needs alone, requiring multiple units
  • Initial setup might require unfolding if shipped flat

Setup

The HAY Colour Crate typically arrives folded flat to minimize packaging and shipping space. To set up your crate:

  1. Unfold: Gently pull the side panels upwards until they click into place, forming the rectangular crate shape.
  2. 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.
