wooden crate

Slatted storage box

A wooden crate is a sturdy container made of wooden slats or boards, typically used for shipping or storing heavy or fragile goods.

Unlike a box with solid sides, a crate usually has gaps between its slats: The antique vase arrived safely in a wooden crate packed with straw.

Crates evoke warehouses, freight yards, and old-fashioned transport.
