Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Blue Pirate Fruit Box Set; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longevity of the whitewashed finish, keep the crates in a dry environment and avoid placing them directly on damp surfaces, as natural wood can absorb moisture. Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the surfaces gently with a dry or slightly dampened microfiber cloth. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing brushes that could damage the whitewashed aesthetic. If stacking, ensure the base crate is placed on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping.
