FAQs

What kind of items can I store in the X-small HAY Colour Storage box?

The X-small box is perfect for organizing small, lightweight items such as office supplies (pens, paper clips), jewelry, keys, small craft materials, charging cables, trinkets, or other personal accessories.

Is the box waterproof?

No, the HAY Colour Storage box is made from cardboard and is *not* waterproof. Avoid exposing it to water, high humidity, or liquids to prevent damage and warping.

How do I clean my HAY Colour Storage box?

For general cleaning, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure it is not soaking wet and dry the box immediately afterwards. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I stack different sizes of HAY Colour Storage boxes together?

Yes, the HAY Colour Storage series is designed to be stackable, allowing you to mix and match different sizes and colors to create custom storage arrangements that suit your needs and aesthetic.

What is FSC-certified cardboard?

FSC-certified cardboard means the material comes from forests that are managed responsibly, meeting the environmental, social, and economic standards of the Forest Stewardship Council. This signifies an eco-friendlier product choice.

Will the color fade over time?

Like many colored products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause the color to fade. It's best to place your box in an area where it is not constantly exposed to strong sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Box appears warped or damaged.

This usually indicates exposure to moisture or excessive weight. Ensure the box is kept in a dry environment and only store lightweight items. Gently reshape if possible, but significant warping may be permanent.

Glossy finish looks dull or scratched.

Avoid using abrasive materials for cleaning. Always wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Scratches are typically permanent but can sometimes be minimized with a very light touch of a suitable polish (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Items inside are getting damp or dusty.

While the box offers some protection, it is not airtight or waterproof. Ensure the environment is dry and consider adding a desiccant packet for moisture-sensitive items. For dust, simply wipe the exterior regularly.

Box slides when stacked.

Ensure boxes are placed on a flat, stable surface. For added stability, especially with multiple stacks or on slippery surfaces, consider using small, non-slip adhesive pads on the bottom corners of the boxes.
