FAQs

What are the dimensions of the medium-sized trug?

The medium-sized trug typically measures approximately 47cm in length, 31cm in width, and 34cm in total height (basket height is around 17cm). Please note these are approximate due to the natural, handmade construction.

Is this trug suitable for carrying food items?

Yes, the trug is suitable for carrying harvested fruits and vegetables, or for use as a bread basket due to its natural materials and floral lining. Ensure the lining is clean and dry before storing food.

Can I leave the trug outdoors?

It is not recommended to leave the trug outdoors permanently, as prolonged exposure to moisture and sunlight can damage the natural willow. It is best used for transport or storage within a covered area or indoors.

How is the trug made?

Each trug is handcrafted from a single willow branch using traditional methods, ensuring a sturdy and authentic piece.

Is the willow treated with any chemicals?

The description states it is made from 100% natural, unstripped willow, implying no chemical treatments. It is also described as fully biodegradable.

Are there different sizes available?

Yes, the Nutley's trugs are available in small, medium, and large sizes, and also as a trio set.

What does 'unstripped willow' mean?

Unstripped willow means the outer bark of the willow branch has not been removed. This contributes to the rustic appearance and natural feel of the trug.

Troubleshooting

Trug appears misshapen upon arrival.

This can happen due to natural variations in the willow. Gently reshape the trug while it is slightly damp, then allow it to dry in the desired form.

Faint earthy smell.

This is normal for natural, unstripped willow and indicates the material's authenticity. Air the trug outdoors for a day or two to dissipate the scent.

Slight color variation from expected.

Color variations are expected as each trug is handmade from natural materials. Embrace the unique character of your specific item.

Willow strands feel rough.

Natural willow can have some rough patches. This is characteristic of the material. You can gently sand any particularly rough spots if desired, but avoid altering the structure.
