The Sorbus wooden crate set is designed with a specific "easy-access" scoop-front, making it a practical choice for kitchen cabinets where you need to see and reach items quickly. The material used is Paulownia wood, which is naturally resistant to moisture-induced expansion. This makes it a more stable choice for kitchen environments than some traditional pine alternatives.
While the crates are sturdy for daily pantry use, the wood has a low surface hardness, meaning it may show signs of wear if metal cans are dropped inside. The integrated handles are chamfered, a design feature that helps reduce the risk of splinters during use. The slatted bottom allows for visibility but may require a liner for very small items like loose tea bags.
Functional Highlights & Usage Tips
- Scoop-front design allows for easy access without unstacking.
