FAQs
What are the primary uses for this blanket box?
It's designed for versatile storage, ideal for bedding and blankets in a bedroom, boots and shoes in a hallway, or toys in a playroom.
Does the lid close on its own?
No, the lid is equipped with sprung safety hinges that hold it securely open when fully lifted, preventing accidental slams.
What materials is the blanket box made from?
The top frame is made from solid American oak, complemented by oak veneers, solid pine for the frame, and man-made boards for panel strength and durability.
How should I clean the painted surface?
Clean the cream painted body with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Is assembly required?
Typically, this blanket box is delivered fully assembled and ready to be placed in your desired location.
What kind of finish does the oak top have?
The natural oak top has a light whitewash finish to highlight the grain, protected by a hardwearing, maintenance-free oiled finish.
Can this be used as a seating bench?
While primarily designed for storage, its sturdy construction may allow for occasional seating, particularly in a hallway for putting on shoes. However, it's not specifically rated as a primary seating unit.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not stay open
Ensure the lid is opened fully to engage the sprung safety hinges. Check for any obstructions preventing the hinges from locking in the open position.
