Fruit Box Set of 3 – Whitewash

Soft whitewash, open slats and pale wood grain give this set the easy warmth of old market crates, ready for a kitchen counter, pantry shelf or quiet utility corner. This three-piece wooden fruit box set is made from Albasia wood, with a rubbed-back finish that lets the texture show through rather than hiding it.

Whitewashed crates with everyday purpose

• The pale wash catches on the raised grain, leaving darker rubbed areas for a naturally worn look.
• Open slatted sides keep the shape light, so fruit, folded cloths or household bits stay visible.
• The three boxes can be grouped together for a layered display or used separately around the home.
• On a kitchen surface, they bring a market-stall feeling to apples, citrus or wrapped goods.
• In a living room or utility space, they soften practical storage with wood, texture and a lived-in finish.

Albasia wood and whitewash finish

The crates are made from Albasia wood, a light-toned timber that suits open, rustic storage. The whitewash finish leaves the grain, knots and plank texture visible, with variation from piece to piece adding to the relaxed character.

Ways to use them at home

Use them as wooden fruit boxes on a counter, as open shelf storage for cloths and jars, or as catch-all crates in a hallway or utility area. Arrange the set together to create height and texture on a shelf.

Care for the wood

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, then leave the wood to dry fully. Avoid soaking, standing water or prolonged damp, as wood can mark or swell with too much moisture.

From market crate to mindful storage

Wooden crates have long belonged in kitchens, markets and workshops because they make everyday things easy to see, carry and gather. In the home, that same open form feels honest and useful: less like hiding things away, more like giving them a settled place. The whitewash finish adds a coastal, farmhouse softness, keeping the grain visible while bringing a lighter tone to shelves and worktops.

A thoughtful home gift

A lovely gift for someone setting up a kitchen, refreshing a pantry or choosing warmer storage for a calm, practical home. It suits people who like useful pieces with visible texture, rather than plastic boxes tucked out of sight.

Common questions

Can these be used for food?
They are best suited to whole fruit, vegetables or wrapped goods. For unpackaged bread, pastries or wet foods, use a liner or a separate food-safe container.

Will every crate look identical?
No. The whitewash and wood grain vary naturally, so each crate has its own rubbed-back marks, pale areas and darker texture.
