The company was founded in 1909 as The Chesley Chair Company. The name was changed to Heirloom of Canada in the 1970's and to more accurately reflect the product line the name was changed again in the 1990's to Crate Designs.

Crate Designs is manufactured in Canada, in the wonderful small town of Chesley, Ontario.

We take our environmental responsibilities seriously, which is why: We only use plantation grown and harvested wood. Southern Yellow Pine forests are some of the most productive and sustainable timberlands in the world and it is an abundant and renewable resource. The furniture is blanket wrapped for local shipping whenever possible instead of using disposable packaging. Waste generated is recycled where possible (sawdust is used as animal bedding on a local farm) and when not feasible is disposed of in a responsible manner. Quality and durability mean a very long product lifecycle (lifetime) which minimizes the impact and footprint of your purchase on the environment.

Most of our furniture is solid Southern Yellow Pine only. Beds and bunk beds are solid wood only with no particle board. Materials are listed in the description when you view a product. We use real wood veneer over particle board for the tops of some models to produce a better product. The veneered panel is surrounded by solid wood.

Yes. Unfinished furniture is available to allow you to personalize our furniture. Unfinished means the wood will arrive bare and meant to have a custom wood finish applied before use. Bare wood is not meant to be used as is because it is difficult to keep clean. Even the natural oils that rub off from people's hands will cause discolouration over time that can be difficult to remove.

Over 400 pounds. All of our beds and bunk beds are rated at over 400 pounds.

The staircase is only available in one height. Many small children have proven that it works well with the tall bunk bed.

Sorry, no, we don't do any custom colours or variations.

View a detailed picture with bunk bed height measurements here.

Trundle beds can be used under every model of bed and bunk bed we make.

A 4 drawer unit can be used on both sides of any Captain's bed model - even twin size. A 3 drawer unit can be used under both sides of any Crate Designs bed or bunk bed - even twin size.

Yes, we use polyurethane foam. It is durable and non-allergenic.

Dimensions for all models are shown in the descriptions. Type the model number in the search box at the top of any page to quickly find the model you are interested in.

Yes, all Crate Designs beds and bunk beds are available extra-long.

Beds, bunk beds and dining tables require assembly. Instructions and an Allen key are provided and the only other tool you need is a screwdriver. All other furniture is shipped assembled. View Assembly Instructions.

You can. Our beds and bunk beds all are sized for regular North American mattress sizes. The exceptions are trundle beds. The height is limited to 8". We recommend a foam mattress for these models.

Very easy. View Assembly Instructions for sofas.

Yes it will. As with most woods, pine will darken with age. The lighter the colour the more pronounced this natural darkening will be.

Southern Yellow Pine does have knots and our furniture will have some knots, but much fewer than most pine furniture. The WildRoots and HarvestRoots collections are designed and built with the maximum amount of knots and character that we can find in our lumber - a very different look for those that appreciate the wilder side of wood!

No. Our furniture is for indoor use only.

No it wouldn’t be detrimental at all. WildRoots dressers and night tables are shipped with a tempered glass top.

Sorry, it is not possible to order components to convert beds into bunk beds.

No. Fabrics are a fashion product and can be discontinued by suppliers at any time. For customers buying upholstered items and thinking about adding more furniture (in the same fabric) at a later date, we recommend the following: Because we can never know in advance when, or if, a fabric will be discontinued, the only way you can be guaranteed to be able to add-on in that fabric is to purchase the required yardage now. When you want to add-on we will use your supplied fabric.
