I bought these crates to put on top of my wardrobe in my bedroom to store towels (bath, hand, face). I bought the off white ones and they are beautiful. However, there is a filmy/greasy residue on the crates. They came with plastic liners, which I left inside so that the towels wouldn't absorb the grease.   

Pros: Beautiful set, looks exactly as pictured
Cons: filmy residue
