FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the basket?

Is the material waterproof?
No, it is made of natural willow and is not waterproof. Avoid leaving it out in the rain.
Can I carry heavy items in it?
It is designed for standard picnic items. While the handles are sturdy, avoid overloading it with excessively heavy weight to maintain the integrity of the weave.
Will every basket look exactly the same?

Does this basket come with internal compartments?

Troubleshooting
Basket appears slightly uneven on flat surfaces
Natural willow can settle; gently adjust the base structure by hand to re-level it.
Dust or debris trapped in the weave
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently clear out the gaps.
Basket smells 'earthy' upon arrival
This is a characteristic of natural willow. Air the basket outdoors in a shaded, breezy spot for a few hours to dissipate the scent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the basket arrives fully assembled, no setup is required. To ensure the longevity of your basket, keep it away from prolonged exposure to direct rain or damp ground, as excessive moisture can degrade the natural willow over time. If the basket gets dirty, simply wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish of the natural fibers. For storage, keep the basket in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew growth on the wicker.
