Troubleshooting

Crate feels wobbly or unstable when stacked.

Ensure that the crates are placed on a flat, stable surface. When stacking, align the crates correctly by fitting the feet of the upper crate into the designated recesses of the lower crate. Distribute weight evenly within the crates.

Items are falling through the perforated sides or base.

The perforated design is inherent to the crate. For very small items like beads or tiny fasteners, consider placing them in a smaller internal container or bag before putting them in the crate. Alternatively, you can use a thin liner at the bottom.

Crate appears dirty or has smudges.

Wipe the crate with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth dampened with a mild soap solution, then wipe again with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Let it air dry completely.

Difficulty folding or unfolding the crate.

Ensure you are applying gentle, even pressure when folding or unfolding. Check for any obstructions or debris in the hinges. The mechanism should operate smoothly; avoid forcing it.
