Most likely the crate has been used
May have suffered damages
They May have succumbed to harsh weather conditions
Most likely can be brought back to “as new” condition
Can be re-purposed for a different use

Refurbished custom wood crates are usually elevated to the current standards of a brand new wooden crate design. This could be the latest and greatest latch, hinge, foam, steel forklift guards, lighter weight technology, and more.

This means the customer will still get the same protection as a new crate and the same quality to boot.
