Storage BasketsAmish Wicker Utility & Organizational Baskets

A wicker storage basket, the way the families weave it, is rattan reed woven over hardwood posts on a solid bottom, with a finished rim and, where a basket is meant to be carried, leather handles riveted through the weave. It is built for the shelf or the floor it lives on, so the sizes are printed for the outside at the rim and the families weave the same sizes year after year. Every basket is signed by the weaver who made it and carries our lifetime guarantee.

The family runs in sizes. The organizer baskets come in three: the Small Storage Basket (12 x 9 x 5 3/4 inches), the Storage Basket (14 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 6 1/4) and the Large Woven Storage Basket (16 1/2 x 12 x 6 3/4), or all three as the Nesting Storage Baskets, which nest inside one another. The cube baskets come as a 10 inch cube, a 12 inch cube and a 14 inch cube, or the three together as the Cube Basket Set; the 12 inch cube fits the 13 inch openings of most cube shelving. Then the specialists: the Underbed Storage Basket (23 1/2 x 13 1/2 x 5 1/2, with one leather pull handle on the end), the Large Toy Storage Basket (27 x 18 x 16, on runner feet, with an optional toy-box lid), the Woven Basket Trunk (17 1/2 x 14 x 9 1/2, a solid wood lid and leather strap handles), the Portable File Organizer (14 x 9 x 11 1/2, a hinged wood lid, leather handles and a snap) and the Wicker File Basket (14 x 9 x 11) for letter-size hanging files.

Blanket baskets, the chairside table and the entryway table are on the living room baskets page; laundry baskets and hampers on the laundry baskets page; and a basket woven to your own measurements on the custom baskets page.

How the sizes are printed

Every size we print is the outside of the basket at the rim, the widest point, and the height without handles.

Will a cube basket fit my cube shelf?

Most cube shelving has openings of about 13 inches. The 12 inch cube fits them with a little air around it; the 10 inch cube sits inside with room to spare; the 14 inch cube is for open shelves, floors and window seats. The three come together as the Cube Basket Set, and each takes a hand-sewn liner and a lift-off lid, sold on the pages.

Lids and liners

The Woven Basket Trunk comes with its solid wood lid and the Portable File Organizer with its hinged one. The cubes, the under-bed basket, the toy basket and the file basket each take a lift-off lid made for them; the cubes, the under-bed basket, the toy basket and the trunk take a hand-sewn cotton liner. Each is sold on its basket's page and on the basket liners page, and any of them can be ordered after the basket arrives.

Care

Dust the weave, and a light spray of lemon oil about once a year feeds the reed. Protective feet are the option for a wood floor or a polished counter. Every basket ships free, gift-ready, with a letter about the family who wove it, and comes back no questions asked.
