Collapsible Storage Crate

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I can't figure out how to get the collapsible storage crate housed in the trunk to stay open. It doesn't seem to lock at any of the collapsible parts of the crate.

What am I missing? How do I get the crate to stay in "crate form"?

If you examine it carefully, you will see the base is connected to the ends and sides. The sides are collapsible as they are centre hinged across the way while the ends are top hinged.

If you pull on the sides in turn, they should pull away from the base allowing the ends to be tucked into the base to complete the box.

Hope this helps, but you will kick yourself when you see how easy it is!
