Troubleshooting

Crate won't fold or unfold smoothly.

Gently check the hinges and corner connections for any obstructions or misalignment. Apply steady, even pressure when folding or unfolding, ensuring all panels are properly aligned before attempting to lock or collapse.

Small items are falling through the perforations.

The crate's perforated design is intentional. For very small or loose items, consider using an internal fabric liner, a smaller box, or a sealed pouch within the crate to prevent them from slipping through.

Crates are not stacking securely.

Ensure that the crates are placed on a flat, stable surface. When stacking, align the bottom edges of the upper crate perfectly with the top edges of the lower crate. Check for any warping or damage to the crate edges that might prevent secure stacking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your HAY Colour Crate is straightforward. Simply unfold the crate until the side panels click securely into place. To fold it for storage, gently push the side panels inwards to disengage the locking mechanism and collapse it flat. No tools or complex assembly are required.

Compatibility

Their uniform design ensures stable stacking, allowing you to create customized storage configurations.

Care

Caring for your Colour Crate is exceptionally easy thanks to its `recycled polypropylene` construction. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. It is quick-drying and designed for repeated, long-term use.
