There is so much to love about our crates.

For instance, that they are all eco-friendly, having been made from sustainable or recycled wood-stock. And that they provide such excellent storage opportunities anywhere in the home, no matter what size of crate you go for.

But arguably one of our favourite things is that they are so versatile that, by simply adding a lid, you can immediately turn them into an additional place to sit!

Take a load off

Whether you are hosting a family gathering, organising a wedding, or just have some unexpected guests drop by, our seat crates are the perfect solution. Because our crates are all the same size – just available in three different heights – the seat lids fit them all, giving you even greater flexibility and choice.

The three heights of crate ensure you can have the ideal seat for any guest. Our Apple Crate measures just 29.5cm in height, making it the perfect height for a footrest or low seat for one of a younger family member.

The tallest member of the trio is the Double Crate. Despite the name, it is not quite twice the size of the Apple Crate, but does boast a respectable 53.5cm. That is roughly the height of a dining room chair, making it an extremely comfortable height to sit at.

The Midi Crate, sits beautifully in the middle of the two, measuring in at 41cm. Once you have added one of our lids with a three-inch cushion, it makes a fantastic seat for any location. In fact, the size and flexibility of this crate made it the perfect choice for Cheeky Scone, a café in central London, as pictured below.

Options galore

While the above links all go to our options with three-inch cushions for that bit of added comfort, if you wanted something a bit smaller, they are also available as one-inch cushions.

And of course, as with all of our crates, the cushions are available in a variety of fabrics, so you can match it to your current décor, or add an eye-catching splash of colour. Couple that with the range of colours and personalisation options available for the crates themselves and the variety is endless.

Put your feet up in front of the fire

With the nights starting to draw in, it won’t be long before we will want to be curled up in front of a roaring fire. Our Log Crates fit beautifully alongside the Seat Crates, both in style and practicality.

Available in two sizes to suit every home, our Log Crates all come with handles, making carrying the logs easier.

Our Large Log Crate, measuring 55 x 36 x 50cm, is guaranteed to hold enough logs to see you through the night. Our Small Log Crate is designed to be a fit in those slightly smaller spaces and be lighter to handle, but still holds plenty of wood to keep you warm for the evening.
