Disclosure: I received this box at a discount. There are no affiliate/referral links.

Linen Crate is a new home decor box that goes through your house room by room. July was the bathroom, August is Dining Room, and September will be the Kitchen. The original bathroom box was released to mix reviews. Linen Crate responded to feedback and stepped it up with the second wave of bathroom boxes. The quality in the second wave of bathroom boxes is carried forward into subsequent crates.

***Linen Crate kindly sent my box early for review. ***

My Linen Crate is Traditional Style. I am not sure of the color palette because it has changed. My color palette says Metallic – silver, rust, and charcoal. That does not sound appealing to me, but maybe it matched the color palette that I picked before that showed an actual color scheme. A secondary color grouping can now be added to your profile. I’ve noticed Linen Crate has evolved as its grown. That’s good news for subscribers because it shows responsiveness.

I received my box last week. There was a delay in putting up the review because I wanted to take the pictures outside. Stainless Steel is highly reflective. My dining room table is the back-to-school command center.

Torres & Tagus Axis Stainless Steel Double Wall Bowl: The bowl is the perfect size for pasta, salads, and big parties. The double wall technology keeps hot items hot and cold items cold. It measures 13″ across and is 3.5″ deep.

Torre + Tagus Discus Stainless Steel Chip + Platter: I linked to Target to show that the Chip & Dip Platter is from the current line. It’s something that I noticed with Linen Crate. It’s easy to find current items to add on to what you receive in the box. The plates I received in the August Crate is currently sold at Macy’s along with additional pieces to the pattern. It’s a good selling point especially if you are starting a new household.

The shallow platter measures 13.5″ across. It’s a nice contemporary piece perfect for entertaining. Unfortunately, I like stainless steel for my Kitchen Aid mixing bowls, not for my table. I was not expecting these items in a traditional box. I strongly dislike the two pieces. I understand that they are elegant pieces, but they are not to my taste.

Now Designs Potholder: I love the design!

Now Design Oven Mitt: It’s a fun kitchen design.

I wasn’t able to find this pattern online. The company offers many designs to bring a bit of cheer into your kitchen.

My older son likes the apron. It’s not girly.

A ring clasp, not a tie, is used to secure the apron around the neck. I did not thread it correctly, because I was taking a few quick pictures.

The apron has a backing to it.

The clasp allows for easy adjustments.

There’s a large-size pocket in the front.

The fabric continues into the pocket. My whole family likes the pattern. The unisex apron is a hit with the men!

Acacia Bark-Edge Round Board: Linen Crate continues to impress me by offering current items. I linked to Bloomingdales.



A closer look at the tag.

The edge is bark. It is possible to pick at the bark and peel it off. I need to keep J away from the cutting board because he will do that.

I ran my fingers down the cutting board. I can feel the grains of the board and how the heart of the wood feels softer. Acacia wood is said to have a sweet scent. I sniffed the board over and only found a slight scent near the bark. It’s not a strong scent like cedarwood. I love this piece. My husband claimed it, but I may take it back and use it for subscription box pictures.

Verdict: I love the Acacia Board and the Now Design Set. I don’t see how Stainless Steel fits in with a traditional design. The Torre & Tagus are well-made pieces, but lack appeal for me. We will use them or gift them.
