Storage BasketMedium Amish Woven Wicker Organizer

• Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from rattan reed by the Borntrager family, Old Order Amish weavers on the Iowa-Missouri border. Every basket is signed by the person who wove it and arrives with a letter from the family.
• A Wicker Storage Basket Built Like Furniture: Hardwood poplar posts give it its strength, the weave is genuine rattan reed, and the solid bottom is furniture-grade layered birch fastened with solid brass nails. A rattan storage basket made for daily use, not a lookalike that sags in a season.
• Room for the Everyday: Roomy enough to corral pantry boxes, towels, mail, books, or toys, yet sized to sit on a countertop, a shelf, or under an end table. Measures 14 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 6 1/4" tall, with the inside running about an inch less.
• Open and Easy to Reach Into: This storage basket is sold open and does not include a lid, so everything inside stays one reach away.
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain for an all-natural look, or Wine & Blue or Wine & Green for a touch of traditional color.
• Add-Ons If You Like: An engraved brass plate with up to two lines of your own text ($19.95) and protective feet for wood furniture ($4.95) are both optional. The basket is complete without them.
• A Matching Family of Sizes: The same basket organizer comes in small, medium, and large, so you can add sizes over the years and they will sit together like a set.
• American Heritage: Handwoven in the Heartland of the USA, signed by the Amish weaver, and backed by our lifetime guarantee. Free shipping on every order.

A storage basket earns its keep when it quietly takes over a messy corner, and this medium size is the one our customers reach for most. One keeps hers in the laundry room and pantry "to keep boxes of sandwich bags" together, and says it "really helps keep it all together and tidy." Another put a pair under her end tables for extra storage and wrote simply, "Fit perfectly! Looks beautiful!" It serves just as well as a desk in-box, a towel basket in the bathroom, or a woven storage basket for the open shelf that collects a little of everything. It measures 14 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 6 1/4" tall on the outside, with the inside about an inch less, so measure your spot, allow about an inch of clearance, and it will settle right in.

A lot of what sells as a wicker storage basket today is loosely woven and light in the hand. This one is different in ways you can feel. The rattan reed is woven over hardwood poplar posts, and the bottom is a solid piece of furniture-grade layered birch held with solid brass nails, so it keeps its shape year after year of being pulled off the shelf. The sizes are consistent too. One customer who ordered three wrote it was "amazing that they match even though made by 2 different families." And one thing to know before you order: this basket is sold open. It does not come with a lid, and we do not offer a ready-made lid in this size, so if covered storage is what you are after, our trunk storage basket with a lid may suit you better.

That is the quiet advantage of a well-made basket organizer: it never stays in one job. The basket that corrals diapers this year holds magazines beside the reading chair a few years on, then guest towels, then the mail. The medium is also a manageable size to carry, which is why we often suggest it to customers who want to move a basket between floors without a struggle. If it will live on wood furniture, add the optional protective feet, and if it is a gift, the optional brass plate is engraved the same day with your own two lines. Wicker storage baskets from our families tend to multiply in a home, and reviewers tell us the warmth is the reason, that "they fit the decor of my home and bring the warmth and charm in a farm country way."

Every one of these storage baskets is handwoven by the Borntrager family, Old Order Amish weavers on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the person who made it. It comes with our lifetime guarantee, free shipping, and no questions asked returns, and it ships gift-ready with no prices in the box.
