FAQs

What is the HAY Colour Crate made from?

The HAY Colour Crate is crafted from 100% recycled polypropylene, making it an eco-friendly storage solution.

Can I use this crate to store food items?

Yes, the HAY Colour Crate is food-safe, so you can confidently use it for storing fruits, vegetables, or other pantry staples.

How do I clean my HAY Colour Crate?

Simply wipe the crate with a damp cloth. For any stubborn dirt, you can use a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Is the crate easy to store when not in use?

Absolutely. One of its key features is its foldable design, allowing you to collapse it flat for compact storage when not needed.

Can different sizes of HAY Colour Crates be stacked together?

Yes, HAY Colour Crates are designed to be stackable, and often different sizes can be combined to create customized storage arrangements.

Will very small items fall out through the holes?

Due to its perforated design, very small items like beads or tiny craft supplies might fall through. For such items, we recommend using an internal liner or a separate smaller container within the crate.

Troubleshooting

Crate feels wobbly or unstable when set up.

Ensure all four sides are fully extended and locked into their respective slots. Apply gentle but firm pressure to each side until you hear or feel a click, indicating it's secure.

Difficulty folding or unfolding the crate.

Check if any part of the crate is obstructed or misaligned. The folding mechanism should operate smoothly. Avoid forcing it; gently manipulate the sides to release or engage the locking tabs.

Small items are falling through the perforated holes.

Due to the perforated design, some very small items may pass through. Consider placing a fabric liner, a smaller container, or a thin piece of cardboard at the bottom or inside the crate to contain these items.

Crates are not stacking securely.

Verify that both the bottom and top crates are fully unfolded and stable. Place the top crate carefully, aligning its base with the rim of the crate below it. Ensure consistent sizing when stacking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The HAY Colour Crate comes pre-assembled but may be in its folded state for transport. To set it up:

  1. Gently pull the shorter sides upwards until they lock into place.
  2. Press down firmly on the longer sides until they also click securely.
  3. Ensure all four sides are fully extended and locked to form a stable crate.

Compatibility

These crates are designed for modularity:

  • Stacking: They are engineered to stack securely with other HAY Colour Crates of the same size, and often interlock with other sizes within the HAY Colour Crate family, allowing for custom vertical storage solutions. Ensure crates are empty or have balanced weight distribution before stacking to prevent instability.
  • Versatile Placement: Their compact 'small' size and appealing design make them suitable for shelves, desks, cupboards, and floors in any room.

Care

Maintaining your HAY Colour Crate is straightforward:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the recycled plastic material.
  • Storage: When not in use, you can easily fold the crate flat for compact storage. Ensure it's clean and dry before folding.
