This 2-pack of rustic crates offers a lightweight storage option, with each unit weighing approximately 1.2 lbs. This makes them a practical choice for creating wall-mounted floating displays when used with appropriate hardware. The material is flame-treated to create a darkened, rustic surface. Because this is a thermal treatment rather than a deep chemical stain, the wood remains porous and lightweight.
The assembly process uses black oxide screws. To maintain the integrity of the soft wood grain, it is recommended to use a manual screwdriver rather than a power drill, which helps prevent the wood from splitting at the pilot holes. The side slats are approximately 8mm to 10mm thick, making them better suited for towels or craft supplies rather than heavy tools or hardware.
Functional Highlights & Usage Tips
- Ideally used for static shelf organization or light wall displays.
- Avoid stacking more than three units high to maintain stability.
- Consider applying a clear-coat sealant if using these in a nursery or for storing white fabrics.
Summary: These crates are designed for visual appeal and light household organization. They provide a sturdy frame for daily use when handled within their intended weight limits.
