FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the basket?

The basket has a height of 23cm, a height to the top of the handles of 31cm, and a diameter of 32cm.

Is the Hessian liner machine washable?

The Hessian liner is best cared for by spot cleaning or hand washing. Machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the fabric or cause shrinkage. Always air dry.

Can this basket be used outdoors?

While the basket is made of natural materials, prolonged exposure to outdoor elements like rain and direct sunlight is not recommended as it can lead to premature wear, fading, and potential damage to the rattan and liner.

What kind of logs can fit in this basket?

This basket is best suited for kindling and smaller logs that fit within its 32cm diameter and 23cm height. It's not designed for large, full-sized logs.

Does the beige color fade over time?

Like most natural materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the beige color to fade gradually. Keeping it out of direct sun will help maintain its original color.

How sturdy is the rattan?

The basket is manufactured from strong Kuba Rattan, designed to be durable for its intended purpose of storing kindling and similar items. It should hold a reasonable weight without structural issues.

Troubleshooting

Basket appears misshapen

Gently reshape the basket while dry. If the material is slightly pliable, you can try lightly misting with water, reshaping, and allowing it to dry completely in the desired form. Avoid soaking.

Hessian liner is stained or dirty

Remove the liner from the basket. Spot clean with mild soap and water or hand wash. Allow the liner to air dry completely before reinserting it into the basket.

Rattan seems dry or brittle

Condition the rattan occasionally with a natural oil (like linseed oil, applied sparingly with a cloth) and allow it to absorb. Ensure the environment is not excessively dry.
