FAQs

Can I use this basket in the bathroom?

No. The basket is made from natural water hyacinth and should be kept away from moisture and humidity to prevent damage.

Does the lid stay on securely?

Yes, the basket comes with a fitted lid designed to sit snugly on top for a tidy appearance.

How much weight can the basket hold?

The basket features a sturdy wood and iron frame, making it durable for typical nursery or bedroom items like toys and linens.

Is the material safe for children?

Yes, it is constructed from natural, non-toxic materials, making it a great addition to a nursery or child's playroom.

What should I do if the basket gets wet?

Blot the area immediately with a dry cloth and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated, dry room away from direct sunlight.

Is assembly required?

No, the item is shipped fully assembled and is ready for use immediately.

Troubleshooting

The basket looks slightly misshapen or has minor creases.

This is normal for handmade natural products. Gently reshape the basket by hand, and it will settle into its intended form with time.

Dust is collecting in the woven gaps.

Use a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth to gently wipe between the weaves of the water hyacinth.

The basket wobbles slightly on the floor.

Ensure the floor surface is level. Because the item is handmade, there may be slight variances in the base; a small felt pad can be placed under one corner to level it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the basket is effortless as it arrives fully assembled; simply unbox and place it where needed. To preserve the longevity of the natural water hyacinth fibers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use only a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Never use liquid cleaners or detergents as they can damage the natural fibers.
  2. Moisture Control: Keep the basket in a dry environment. Do not place it in bathrooms or rooms with high humidity to prevent mold or fiber degradation.
  3. Handling: If you notice minor creases upon arrival, these are normal for natural materials and usually settle after a short period of use.
  4. Placement: Ensure the basket is kept away from direct heat sources to prevent the wood frame or fibers from becoming brittle.
