Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The HAY Colour Crate comes pre-assembled but may be in its folded state for transport. To set it up:
- Gently pull the shorter sides upwards until they lock into place.
- Press down firmly on the longer sides until they also click securely.
- 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.
