FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the basket?
The basket measures 33 cm in width, 33 cm in depth, and 50 cm in height.
Is the lining completely removable?
Yes, the cotton/polyester lining is designed to be fully removable for easy cleaning.
Can this basket be used in a bathroom?
Yes, it can be used in a bathroom, provided the environment is not excessively humid, as moisture can affect the wicker over time. Ensure good ventilation.
What is the weight of the basket?
The basket weighs approximately 1.7 kg.
Is the wicker treated with any chemicals?
The product description highlights the use of natural wicker. It is light steamed, not chemically treated in a way that would be harmful for home use.
How should I clean the wicker itself?
Wipe the wicker clean with a slightly damp cloth and ensure it dries thoroughly. Avoid soaking or using strong cleaning agents.
Does the lid stay open on its own?
The basket features faux leather straps with hinges to secure the lid. It is designed to stay closed when latched. The lid does not have a mechanism to hold it open independently.
Troubleshooting
Basket has a strong initial odor
Allow the basket to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days. The scent is natural to steamed willow and will dissipate over time.
Wicker appears dry or brittle
Ensure the basket is kept in a humid environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or dry air. A very light misting with water can help, but allow it to dry completely afterwards.
Lining has stains or smells
Remove the lining and follow the washing instructions. For persistent stains, pre-treat before washing.
Handles feel loose
Check the attachment points. If they are securely attached but feel loose, it might be due to natural expansion/contraction of the wicker. Ensure no excessive force is applied.
