Worst product yetAnonymousCan't assemble it as the screws don't go in. There's even a side where the holes for the screws aren't even drilled, just a light indent. Useless and super disappointed, especially as I've bought two.1
Poor quality and difficult to assembleAndrewI normally have no problem assembling Ikea products but this crate was impossible to put together. The guide holes for the base didn't line up and the guide holes for the slats were virtually non existent. I couldn't screw it together by hand and when I attempted to use an electric drill at slow speed, the wood split. I purchased 5 of these but am not risking attempting to put together any of the others. Unfortunately I live in regional Victoria and will have to make a special trip to Melbourne in order to return them for a refund. I expected better of an Ikea product.1
very difficult to makeAlishaquality of product is great however they come as a flat pack and to make these crates it is very difficult.1
Not an easy box to assemble manuallyMiyokoI tried to assemble this box manually and it was the worst experience ever with IKEA items. 2 of 4 large screws for the bottom part didn't go in fully. And small screws just didn't go in. I chose to use a fast drying wood glue instead. Otherwise I recommend using electric screwdriver. I'm happy how it looks and does the job I wanted. Pine smells nice.2
ConstructionKarynThe item was wonderful once constructed. The issue being that it used screws and the screw holes either didn’t match up or were not there. Not having access to a drill I had to impose on a friend with a drill to help. Considering all my furniture purchased that I have put together myself it was extremely disappointing.3

Cute but difficult to assembleLucyTook some effort to put together - nothing lined up. Ended up leaving a couple of screw off as I couldn’t get them flush3
Poor quality screws strip before you can even get them inKaszreyeneThe poor quality and unreasonably long screws are such poor quality that the drill stripped them right away, despite being perfectly lined up with both holes. I bought 2 and both are now in the bin.
So not waste your money.1
Used to be betterAnonymousI have six of these from around 3 years ago and they look neat and tidy. Just bought 3 more recently and they fit together all wonky. I can barely get the screws into the base which has been quite frustrating. Disappointing for the cost.2
Stylish storage RosI bought this for my pantry, it’s a good size and mine holds big vinegar bottles. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy. 5
Wooden crate - averageRachelThe quality is really hit and miss. Poorly cut wood that somehow you need to create a box with but end up needing to sand it back so it all fits together. These used to be great, but now not so much.3
Not the bestWillThe individual pieces are uneven which makes the whole box look crooked. The base has stickers applied which do not easily come off and leave a sticky residue. Not worth the money2
Great for potatoes or onions in .pantry PeterNice design box for keeping my potatoes or onions at the floor level of the pantry cupboard . I had castors fixed to it for easy rolling in and out to access my items. Good quality pine , easy to put it together. However 4 tiny screws were short in the package and have to swap for a new replacement the next day. It was an extra trip back to the store.4
Don't believe the good reviewsAnonymous reviewerThis product is terrible. It and its smaller cousin. Like other people have experienced it is very difficult to put together. Cheaply made and doesn't line up properly. I had to use a power drill and a separate impact driver to first drill new holes and then impact drive them in so the screws wouldn't scratch my shelf. Took me ages and incredibly frustrating1
Christmas decoration crateJennieReally easy to put together & dump all the Christmas decorations in, makes them look orderly!!5
Has had a re-design and now terribleAnonymous reviewerHas been redesigned so have to use 24 very small screws to put the ends on - dreadful product now. We used to by 50 at a time for our business and are now stuck with 50 of the new design - poorly designed with screw holes missing and takes forever to put together. A disaster now.1
AwesomeKrystalI have had these crates before and I love them. I was going to buy 4 and then I read the reviews about the tiny screws. I was very shocked but I decided to buy just 1 to see how bad it had become. But I got the original box with the large screws and so easy to put together. It is still a great product and hope they don't change it. I am now guying to get 3 more crates to finish my project5
Great wooden boxMarkusWe use this box to store our potatoes, onions and dishwashing supplies. Great fit under the sink.5
Quality is NOT good! TaratiNails on both sides where the handles are have come loose in the very first attempt to lift it. Luckily for me it was empty when I fell to the floor in a pile of wood pieces! Quality not good sorry won’t buy again and the binning ones are way way better!1
