Stair BasketsAmish Wicker Baskets for Staircase Organization & Storage

Along the stairs, against the wall. The tall section stands on the lower step and the upper section rests on the step above it, so the basket hugs the rise between them. The 18 inch length runs up the staircase, and the basket takes up 9 inches of the width of the steps.

There is one wood divider, set at the step line. It makes two compartments, one at each depth: the tall section on the lower step and the shorter section on the step above.

The lid is optional. It is a flat wood lid with a small turned knob that covers the whole 18 by 9 inch top. It rests under the two leather straps, so the basket still carries by its handles with the lid on; tip the straps aside to lift it off. Add it on the basket's page, or order the Custom Fit Lid For Stair Basket on its own later.

By its two leather strap handles, riveted in place, one over each section. Fill it with what gathers on the steps during the day, then take it all up in one trip.

Yes, as a special order. Write a note at checkout asking for the stair basket with no handles, and the family will weave it that way. A special order takes a little longer to make.

Anything waiting to go up or down the stairs: shoes, toys, folded laundry, mail, books and cleaning supplies. It collects what lands on the steps during the day, and everything goes upstairs together in the evening.

It gives the things that pile up on the steps one place to wait, out of the way, until someone is headed upstairs, and then it carries them all up in one trip. For anyone with a lot of stairs to climb, that means fewer trips up and down.

Plain, Wine & Blue, and Wine & Green. On the two trim versions the color is dyed reed woven into the basket in two bands, not painted on.

Yes. An engraved solid brass plate is optional on the basket's page, with up to two lines of text. The engraver works in one plain typeface with letters and punctuation.

Yes. You can stain over the stain on the basket and on the lid.

It is woven by hand in the home of an Old Order Amish family along the Iowa-Missouri border, of rattan reed over a wood bottom with a wood divider, and signed by the family member who wove it. Every basket carries our lifetime guarantee.
