Love this! If I have a great big deck these seats and "crate" table would be lovely.

Now this I could do, I have the hallway space and need the shoe shelves.  Great idea!

My favourite for last, a crate turned up against a wall as a shelf for antique plates.

With these ideas and more I think I could possibly fill my home with crates; great as tables, shelves, furniture, storage, etc., with the right tools and some creativity you really can't go wrong.
