Troubleshooting

Crate feels unstable when stacked.

Ensure that the crates are stacked straight and that the top crate is fully centered on the one below. Avoid stacking crates of vastly different dimensions unless the base of the top crate fits securely within the top rim of the bottom one.

Crate won't fold flat easily.

Check that all side panels are disengaged from their locked position. Gently apply pressure to the sides to release them before folding.

Small items fall through the perforations.

For very small items, consider placing them in smaller, solid containers or bags before putting them into the crate. Alternatively, choose a different storage solution that offers fully enclosed sides.

Crate appears scratched or scuffed.

The crate is made from recycled plastic, which can be susceptible to surface scratches over time with heavy use. To minimize this, avoid dragging crates on rough surfaces or storing sharp objects directly against the walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your HAY Colour Crate arrives folded flat for efficient transport. To set it up:

  1. Gently unfold the side panels outwards until they click into place.
  2. Press down on the base until it securely locks with the side panels.

Compatibility

  • Stacking: This small crate is designed to stack securely with other HAY Colour Crates of the same size, or larger sizes where the dimensions allow for stable placement. For optimal stability, stack crates with similar footprints.
  • Placement: Its compact dimensions (17cm W x 26.5cm D x 10.5cm H) allow it to fit neatly on standard shelves, inside drawers, on countertops, or in smaller cupboards.

Care

  • Cleaning: To clean your HAY Colour Crate, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the recycled plastic surface.
  • Maintenance: Ensure the crate is fully unfolded and locked when in use to maintain its structural integrity. When folding for storage, do so gently to prevent stress on the locking mechanisms.
