Know before you buy
The basket is crafted from solid mahogany, ensuring a sturdy build and a substantial feel.
Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Because it has a water-based varnish finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or soaking the wood in water.
While the water-based varnish provides a protective layer, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry storage such as magazines, throws, or decorative items.
Because each basket is handmade by Javanese artisans, there may be very slight variations in the finish or dimensions, which is a hallmark of its artisanal construction.
The unique texture is primarily an exterior design element. The interior is finished to be smooth, making it safe for storing delicate items like textiles.
