1. PREPARE: Setup your workspace in a well-ventilated area and use a drop cloth to protect the

oor from stain. When staining, always follow the directions on the can to properly dispose of your

rags and brushes.

2. SAND: Sand each crate thoroughly, working your way up through #120, #150, and #180 grit

sandpaper. Wipe away the sanding dust with a tack cloth in between each grit. Once you’ve

nished sanding, use your tack cloth to give the crate one last wipe-down.

3. STAIN: Shake or stir your can of Varathane 3X Premium Wood Stain in Cognac thoroughly. Then,

use your brush or lint-free rag to apply a liberal amount of stain onto the rst crate. Working in

manageable sections, let the stain sit on the wood for a few minutes, and then wipe it away with

a clean rag. Finish staining half of your crates in Cognac, then repeat this step on the other crates

with Varathane 3X Premium Wood Stain in Weathered Gray. Remember to also stain your piece of

plywood. Then, let everything dry for at least an hour.

4. BUILD: Stack the crates in the desired pattern upside down (so that the base of the organizer is

facing up). Then, secure your crates together one at a time with a drill. Tip: It’s easiest to rst secure

the crates together vertically, and then secure the left and right columns together.

5. FINISH: Now that your crates are secured, place the piece of plywood on top of the crates (this

will be the bottom once they’re ipped right-side up) and secure it to the crates with a drill. Fasten

casters to each of the four corners of the base. Then, ip your organizer back over and enjoy!
