FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the hexagonal boxes?
The set includes three hexagonal boxes with approximate dimensions: Height 14.8 cm, 19 cm, and 24.2 cm; Width 13 cm, 16.2 cm, and 20 cm; all with a depth of 10 cm.
Can these boxes be used for storing food items?
These boxes are intended for craft and decorative storage. They are not food-grade and should not be used for direct food storage unless sealed with a food-safe sealant after decoration.
What is the best way to seal decorations?
A clear acrylic sealant or varnish is recommended to protect your decorations and the wood. Allow the sealant to cure completely according to the product instructions before use.
Are the boxes painted or stained when purchased?
No, the boxes come in a natural wood finish, ready for you to apply your chosen decorations.
How many boxes are included in a pack?
A pack typically includes three hexagonal boxes of different sizes.
Can I use these boxes outdoors?
While they can be decorated for outdoor use, the natural wood is not inherently weather-resistant. Proper sealing with outdoor-grade varnish or paint is essential to protect them from moisture and UV damage.
What kind of glue works best for adding embellishments?
A strong craft glue or wood glue is generally suitable. For lighter embellishments like paper or fabric, decoupage glue can work well. Ensure the glue is compatible with wood.
Troubleshooting
Wood has rough patches.
Lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper (220+) to smooth it before decorating.
Decoration is peeling.
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before applying decorations. For paints and glues, apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between layers. Consider using a primer or sealant.
Box feels unstable for intended use.
Reinforce corners with wood glue or small brackets if storing heavier items. Ensure decorations do not add excessive weight or stress to the structure.
