Know before you buy
Yes, it is perfectly safe to use for serving dry items like bread, fruits, or snacks. Because it is made from natural palm fibers, we recommend using a cloth liner if you are serving items that might leave crumbs or oils.
Maintenance is simple. Just wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the natural fibers.
Because each basket is handwoven from natural dried palm fibers, you should expect slight variations in color and tone. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and mean no two baskets are identical.
The basket is designed for everyday use and is quite durable for its weight. However, it is best suited for lighter household essentials like mail, keys, or linens rather than heavy, dense objects.
No, the basket arrives fully assembled and ready to use. It is a freestanding piece, so you can simply place it on any flat surface.
