FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the crate?
The dimensions of the SNOWDON VR99711 storage crate are 300mm in height, 400mm in width, and 500mm in length.
Does the crate come assembled?
No, the crate is supplied flat-packed and requires self-assembly following the provided instructions.
Can I paint or stain the crate?
Yes, the crate is made from untreated solid pine, making it ideal for custom finishing with paints, stains, or varnishes.
Is the crate suitable for outdoor use?
While it is made of wood, it is designed for indoor use. For outdoor use, it would require significant weatherproofing treatment.
How should I clean the storage crate?
Dust regularly with a dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. If you've applied a finish, follow the care instructions for that specific product.
Can I buy more than one crate?
Yes, a pack of two similar crates is available under the SNOWDON UW57410 model number.
What makes the finish 'flamed'?
The 'flamed' finish is achieved through a process that chars the wood surface, creating a unique, rustic, burnt appearance that adds character.
Troubleshooting
Crate wobbles after assembly
Ensure all screws or fixings are tightened securely. Check that the crate is on a level surface. If the issue persists, re-examine the assembly steps to ensure all parts are correctly aligned.
Wood appears rough or splintered
This is typical of natural, untreated wood. Lightly sand the affected areas with fine-grit sandpaper. For a smoother finish, consider applying a sealant or varnish after assembly.
Flamed finish is inconsistent
The flamed finish is a natural process and can have variations, contributing to its rustic charm. If the variation is significant, consider applying a stain or paint to achieve a more uniform look.
Difficulty inserting screws during assembly
Ensure the pre-drilled holes are clear of debris. If resistance is high, a small amount of wood glue on the screw threads can help, or use a manual screwdriver rather than a power drill on a high setting to avoid stripping the wood.
