Know before you buy
No, a liner is not required. The interior is designed to be durable and easy to clean, so you can place paper waste directly into the basket.
The basket features a water-resistant finish, which allows you to wipe it down easily with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to protect the hand-painted edges and decoupaged artwork.
The flat top offers a clean, minimalist silhouette that fits well in modern or traditional spaces. The scalloped top adds a decorative, architectural detail to the rim, providing a more ornate look.
Yes, the basket is constructed from solid wood, making it quite durable for daily use. Its freestanding design provides a stable base that won't easily tip over under normal conditions.
While the surface is water-resistant, it is primarily intended for dry waste in office or living areas. We recommend keeping it away from direct water contact or extremely damp environments to ensure the longevity of the wood and artwork.
