Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do the trays come included with the carcass?

A: Yes. This unit is supplied complete with 6 shallow trays, so it is ready to use the moment it arrives in your classroom.

Q: What fits inside a shallow storage tray?

A: Shallow trays measure 76mm in height, making them the ideal depth for storing A4 exercise books, individual pupil stationery, flat art paper, and worksheets without items getting buried at the bottom.

Q: Can I use my school's existing trays in this unit?

A: Yes. The internal runners are expertly designed to be fully compatible with industry-standard Gratnells trays as well as Monarch manufactured trays, allowing you to swap resources easily between rooms.

Q: Will this unit require assembly by our site manager?

A: No. We understand that school estates teams are incredibly busy. This unit is delivered 100% fully assembled, and the delivery team will even remove and recycle the packaging for you.

Q: Is the wood sustainably sourced?

A: Absolutely. The 18mm MFC is manufactured in Wales using 85% recycled timber. It is fully FSC certified, and our manufacturing partners plant five new trees for every one tree that is felled.

Q: Is this unit low enough for early years or nursery students?

A: Yes. With an overall height of just 617mm, this early years tray storage unit is at the perfect height for young children to safely and independently access their own materials.

Q: Can this item be delivered to a home address for a childminding business?

A: Unfortunately, no. Because these are heavy-duty, commercial-grade items delivered via specialist freight, they cannot be delivered to a residential address. We only ship to educational, NHS, and commercial premises.

Q: What is covered by the 5-year warranty?

A: The 5-year guarantee covers any structural manufacturing defects in the wooden carcass and the castor wheels, providing you with long-term purchasing confidence.
