In reply to Heather. Hi Heather! Thanks for catching that, I updated the post. Because the boards are so thin, I used 1'' finish nails. And after using these crates for years they have held up great, except on the one side where the handle is, I would recommend using 1'' screws, because the kids are pulling on them so often, I have had one of the boards pop off. :) It was an easy fix, I just added more glue and used the 1'' screws instead, no problems since! I hope that helps!

That is just too cute. I don’t have the kids running around the house anymore but that would be cute with just books stacked in them, or store your throws and pillows in them…

Hi; I thoroughly enjoyed your recycled ways of dealing with your creativity gift. It is truly a gift from your heart, to make things and at a minimum on expense. they are pleasant, with sunny and happy sayings, whichmalso give children or even adults be more encouraged to put away toys, etc. socks, tools, books misc. away and have everything look nice too! I’m all for orderliness and an end to clutter1 thanks! (: bev.

Oooooh, ahhhh, love these crates, and going to build one soon. Thanks for the directions.

Still need that paint sprayer, my big box store was out of them. I am going to get one as soon as they come in.
