About CratePlay™

UbeCube™ injection molding facility with rows of molding machines and the words “We are UbeCube.”

OUR STORY

UbeCube started with a simple yet transformative idea: to enhance something already incredibly useful - the everyday utility crate. Through innovation and a commitment to practicality, we've reimagined the crate to be a modular, collapsible, connectable, and omni-stackable system.

It’s the world’s first multi-crate system.

And we didn't stop there. This idea expanded into an entire ecosystem, complete with a range of attachments, accessories, and complementary products.

For years, people from all walks of life have been repurposing crates, finding use for them in their home, work, and play.

With UbeCube’s multi-crate system, you can modularly outfit your bedroom, dorm room, office, garage, shop... and so many places in between. The possibilities are nearly limitless; and we've harnessed that versatility,
making it even more adaptable to your unique needs.

"We set out to build the cratest company of all time - complete with too many puns and a brand name that is impossible to pronounce for all but the most skilled.
And, yeah, we may have done it."

CratePlay™ FAQ
Storage made for play,
then built to grow.

CratePlay™ brings playroom storage, building brick organization, creative workspaces, and everyday cleanup into one modular system. Start small, build a setup that fits your space, and change it as collections grow.

What is CratePlay™?
CratePlay™ is a modular storage and play system powered by UbeCube™ crates, bins, trays, build plates, shelves, dividers, and accessories. It is designed to help kids, families, collectors, and creative builders organize toys, building bricks, art supplies, shoes, closet gear, and everyday items in one flexible setup.
How is CratePlay™ different from normal toy storage?
CratePlay™ is different because it is not limited to one bin, shelf, or toy box. The system can stack, connect, divide, and reconfigure, which makes it easier to build play tables, storage walls, closet setups, display areas, and portable organization systems from the same core parts.
What can I organize with CratePlay™?
CratePlay™ can organize building bricks, small toys, craft supplies, art tools, action figures, books, shoes, clothing, school gear, dorm supplies, and everyday clutter. Use Bins + Trays for smaller parts, Shelves + Dividers for structure, and crates or kits when you want a larger setup.
Is CratePlay™ good for building brick storage?
Yes. CratePlay™ works well for building brick organization because it combines storage underneath with play surfaces on top. Build plates, trays, Grabinet™ bins, and BaseBox™ organizers help sort loose pieces, protect builds, and keep the play area easier to reset after each project.

Can CratePlay™ be used beyond the playroom?
Yes. CratePlay™ is built for playrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, closets, dorm rooms, hobby spaces, and creative work areas. The same modular system can become a toy wall, play table, sneaker display, dorm closet, craft station, or everyday organization setup.

Can I start small and add more later?
Yes. CratePlay™ is designed to grow over time. Start with a crate, kit, play table, Grabinet™, or BaseBox™, then add more crates, connectors, bins, trays, build plates, shelves, or dividers as your space and collection change.

What is the easiest way to choose a CratePlay™ setup?
CratePlay™ setups can be chosen by use case. Start with CratePlay™ Kits for play tables and toy storage, CrateKicks™ Kits for shoes, CrateCloset™ Kits for clothing and closet storage, or PixelPanel™ Kits for pixel art.
Is CratePlay™ part of the UbeCube™ system?
Yes. CratePlay™ is powered by the UbeCube™ modular crate system. That means many crates, connectors, accessories, bins, trays, shelves, dividers, and soft goods are designed to work together across different CratePlay™ setups.
