Description
Product Details

The Woodbox crate with walnut husk stain is a stained pine storage crate inspired by traditional apple crates. It comes in three sizes, measuring 36, 54 or 72 cm long. The height (36 cm) and depth (32 cm) are the same for each model, so you can combine sizes without any misalignment.

On its own, it works as a bedside unit, storage crate or hallway unit. Stacked or lined up, several crates form a bookcase, low shelving unit or TV unit. The lengths increase in 18 cm increments: two small models side by side take up the same space as one large model.

The colour comes from a natural walnut husk stain, which gives the pine a shade ranging from deep brown to almost black and brings out its grain. This crate is for indoor use only, away from moisture.

✓ Natural walnut husk stain: a traditional stain made from walnut husks, already applied before delivery.
✓ Traditional construction: 80 x 14 mm boards and a slatted base, in the style of apple crates.
✓ PEFC-certified wood: from sustainably managed forests.
✓ Wine rack option: a bottle rack can be fitted as an accessory.

Choosing the right crate

The base is slatted, like an apple crate. Small items can therefore slip between the boards: to store small toys, accessories or supplies, use a basket or a base panel placed inside the crate.

For heavy items such as large-format books, choose the small model. With boards of the same thickness, a longer span bends more under weight. Reserve the large 72 cm model for lightweight or bulky items: linen, cushions and baskets.

This crate is not suitable for a terrace, garden shed or damp room. The stained pine is not designed for these conditions. The natural shade varies slightly from one crate to another depending on how the wood absorbs the stain: for a uniform arrangement, order all your crates at the same time.

Arrangement and fixing advice

Place the first row on a level floor, with the heaviest-loaded crates at the bottom. If you stack more than two levels, fasten the crates together and then secure the whole arrangement to the wall to prevent it from tipping over. This precaution is essential in a child's bedroom.

To join two crates side by side, use wood screws no longer than 25 mm. Two 14 mm sides have a combined thickness of 28 mm, so a longer screw would go right through. Drill pilot holes near the ends of the boards to prevent splitting.

Care and protection

Dust with a dry or slightly damp, well-wrung cloth. Avoid using large amounts of water, solvent-based products and abrasive sponges, which can lighten the stain. Keep the crates away from direct heat and sunlight through glass, which can change the colour of the wood over time.

To protect a crate that gets a lot of use, for example in a hallway, you can apply a clear matt varnish. Always test it first on a hidden surface.

Frequently asked questions

Can a wooden crate with walnut husk stain be used outdoors?

No, the Woodbox crate with walnut husk stain is for indoor use only. Stained pine cannot withstand prolonged exposure to rain or constant moisture. For a balcony or terrace, choose a wood species and finish intended for outdoor use.

How do you make a bookcase from wooden crates?

Stack and line up the crates, placing the heaviest-loaded ones at the bottom, then secure the whole arrangement to the wall if it exceeds two levels. Woodbox crates measure 36, 54 or 72 cm long, with a common height of 36 cm and depth of 32 cm. Two small models side by side equal one large model, allowing you to alternate sizes between rows.

Which size Woodbox crate should you choose?

The small 36 cm-long model suits heavy items and small spaces: books, bedside storage or hallway storage. The medium 54 cm model is a good compromise for a low shelving unit. The large 72 cm model holds bulky but lightweight items such as linen or cushions.

What is walnut husk stain?

Walnut husk stain is a natural stain made from walnut husks and has long been used in cabinetmaking. This natural stain is applied to the Woodbox crate. On pine, it produces a shade ranging from deep brown to almost black and brings out the wood grain.

How do you secure wooden crates to each other and to the wall?

Screw the crates together through the sides where they meet, using screws no longer than 25 mm and drilling pilot holes near the ends of the boards. Then secure the top row to the wall with brackets or screws suitable for the wall type. Wall fixing is necessary for stacks of more than two levels.

Why choose a stained crate over an unfinished one?

A stained crate is ready to use on arrival, with no sanding or staining required. An unfinished crate makes sense if you want to paint or stain it yourself in another colour.
