Wooden box with or without lid – softwood, stackable

A hallway full of shoes, toys in the living room, tools scattered all over the cellar – sometimes there's simply nowhere for everything to go. A stackable wooden crate with handles on the sides gives you exactly that place: fill it, pop it on a shelf or stack several on top of each other – and the room instantly feels calmer. Whether you choose the open crate without a lid for quick access or the version with a lid as a little chest, this all-purpose wooden crate is made for a home that could do with a bit more order.

What changes for you

• You can tidy up without moving any furniture – because all the crates can be combined and stacked to save space.
• You can carry even full crates comfortably from room to room – thanks to the two side handles.
• You can grab things quickly, right where you need them. Use the open wooden box without a lid on the shelf, in the pantry or in the workshop.
• You can keep documents, tools or keepsakes free of dust – in the closed version with a lid, and even with a clasp if you like.
• You can style the crate exactly to your taste – because the untreated wood can be decorated, painted or oiled.

Why this wooden crate makes a difference every day

Loose bits and pieces make a room look restless – gathered in a crate made of real wood, they suddenly look tidy and homely. Instead of hiding plastic boxes away, you can put this all-purpose wooden crate on display on the shelf, where its natural surface fits right in. That way, cluttered corners become a system that grows with you: one crate today, two stacked tomorrow.

Material & finish

The natural, untreated softwood feels warm to the touch and is sanded smooth – no need to worry about rough patches or sharp edges, as the corners and edges are rounded. Because the wood is neither varnished nor stained, you can work on it straight away: paint it, oil it or decorate it, just as it suits your interior. Its neat finish makes the crate sturdy enough for everyday use, and it's made in the EU. Variations in shade, grain and small knots are all part of real wood – they're not a flaw, they make every crate one of a kind.

How to use the wooden crate

• In the children's room: toys go into the crate in the evening, lid on – and the room is tidy again in two minutes.
• In the living room: magazines, blankets or charging cables disappear into the open wooden box on the shelf – close at hand, but no longer scattered about.
• In the cellar and workshop: sort your tools and accessories into stackable boxes. You'll find everything again instead of searching for ages.
• In the office: keep paperwork and keepsakes safe from dust in the version with lid and clasp – like a little chest.
• In the shop, café or at a market stall: goods lovingly displayed in wooden crates look more natural than in any plastic box – and at the end of the day, you can stack everything away to save space.
• As a gift idea: paint or decorate the natural surface however you like – and the all-purpose crate becomes a personal one-off.

Good to know about softwood

Softwood is relatively light and, when untreated, is especially easy to paint, oil or decorate, because the surface absorbs paint and oil directly. That's exactly why this crate is ideal for anyone who wants to match their storage to the colours of their home, children's room or shop interior.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: the sturdy wood is easy to care for and copes with everyday life without any special attention. As the wood is untreated, avoid constant moisture – if you like, oil or paint the surface to give it extra protection and keep it looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I stack the crates? Yes, all sizes can be combined and stacked securely on top of each other – with or without a lid.

Is the wood treated? No, the softwood is natural and untreated, sanded smooth and neither varnished nor stained. You can paint, oil or decorate it as you like.

Why does every crate look slightly different? Wood is a purely natural material: shade, grain and small knots vary from piece to piece – and that's exactly what makes every crate unique.

How do I carry the crate? Every crate has two side handles, so you can lift and carry it comfortably, even when it's full.

Is there a version that closes securely? Yes, the version with external dimensions of approx. 40 x 30 x 21 cm has a lid with a clasp – ideal for documents or keepsakes.

In the end, it's not about a softwood crate. It's about the moment you look around the room and everything has its place – calm, tidy and natural. Simply choose the size and version that suits your home; at Bütic you'll find them with and without a lid.
