Troubleshooting
Crate feels unstable when stacked.
Ensure that the crates are correctly unfolded and locked into place. When stacking, align the crates precisely on top of each other, distributing weight evenly. For very tall stacks, consider placing heavier items at the bottom.
Difficulty folding or unfolding the crate.
Apply gentle, even pressure when folding or unfolding. Check for any small obstructions in the hinges or locking mechanisms. The plastic may be stiff initially, but should ease with use.
Crate gets dusty inside due to perforated design.
Regularly wipe down the inside and outside of the crate with a damp cloth. If storing items that need complete protection from dust, consider purchasing the optional lid accessory.
Stains or marks on the recycled plastic.
For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth with a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Gently scrub the affected area and then rinse thoroughly before allowing it to air dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Items falling through the perforated sides.
The perforated design is inherent to the product. For very small items, consider using smaller internal containers or pouches within the crate, or opt for a different storage solution with solid sides.
