FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the medium HAY Colour Crate?

The medium HAY Colour Crate measures 26.5cm in width, 34.5cm in depth, and 14cm in height.

Is this crate safe for storing food items?

Yes, the HAY Colour Crate is made from food-safe recycled polypropylene, making it suitable for direct contact with fruits, vegetables, and other food items.

Can I stack different sizes of HAY Colour Crates together?

Yes, HAY Colour Crates are designed to stack harmoniously across their range of sizes, allowing for flexible and stable modular storage.

How should I clean my HAY Colour Crate?

You can easily clean the crate by wiping it with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry.

What material is the HAY Colour Crate made from?

It is crafted from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic waste, specifically recycled polypropylene, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Does the crate come assembled or do I need to put it together?

The HAY Colour Crate typically comes flat-packed for efficient shipping. It requires simple unfolding and snapping the sides into place for assembly.

Can this crate be used in a child's room for toy storage?

Absolutely! Its durable, lightweight, and easy-to-clean nature makes it an excellent choice for organizing toys and other items in a child's room.

Troubleshooting

Crate feels unstable or wobbly after unfolding

Ensure that all four sides are fully extended and the interlocking mechanisms (small tabs/slots) are securely engaged. Press firmly on each corner to confirm it's locked into place.

Difficulty folding the crate flat

Locate the small release tabs on the short sides of the crate. Gently push these tabs inward while simultaneously pushing the short sides down and inward. The long sides will then fold flat.

Light stains or residue on the plastic

Wipe the affected area immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild dish soap diluted in water, then rinse thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The HAY Colour Crate arrives flat-packed for efficient transport. To assemble:

Unfold: Gently pull the short sides of the crate upwards until they snap securely into place.
Lock Sides: Ensure all four sides are fully extended and locked, creating a stable box shape.

To fold flat for storage:

Release Tabs: Gently press the release tabs on the short sides inward.
Fold Down: Fold the short sides inward, then fold the long sides flat.

Compatibility

Stacking: HAY Colour Crates are designed to stack harmoniously with other crates of the same size, as well as different sizes within the HAY Colour Crate range, allowing for flexible and modular storage solutions.
Environment: Its versatile design means it fits seamlessly into various decor styles and rooms, from modern minimalist to eclectic.

Care

Maintaining your HAY Colour Crate is straightforward:

Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
Food Contact: Given its food-safe properties, ensure thorough cleaning after storing fresh produce to maintain hygiene.
Storage: When not in use, fold the crate flat and store it in a dry place to protect its material and color.
Durability: While durable, avoid placing excessively heavy items in the crate that might cause strain or damage. Also, keep it away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent potential fading of the vibrant electric blue color over many years.
