Product Information
Full details
The APS Round Rattan Cutlery Basket is designed for foodservice professionals and home hosts looking for an elegant, hygienic way to organize flatware on tabletops or buffets. Crafted from high-quality polypropylene, it offers the sophisticated look of traditional woven rattan while providing commercial-grade durability that is resistant to mold and rot. While its aesthetic is perfect for rustic or casual dining themes, it is specifically sized for vertical cutlery storage, which may limit its use for oversized or non-standard serving utensils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: This product is a ready-to-use, freestanding organizer. No assembly is required. Simply place it on a flat, stable surface.
- Compatibility: The 150mm height is optimal for standard dinner knives, forks, and spoons.
- Cleaning: While the basket is dishwasher safe, it can also be cleaned using mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers, as they may eventually dull the finish of the polypropylene material.
- Care: Although UV-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high-heat environments like ovens or microwaves to ensure the plastic retains its structural integrity.
