Know before you buy
Yes, the split lid is designed to be sturdy enough to serve as a stable, flat working surface for your picnic setup. It provides a convenient spot to rest plates or cups while you are outdoors.
The basket is designed to accommodate a 9-inch pie plate at the base. To carry two pies, you will need to purchase the optional interior tray, which creates a second level for stacking.
The basket is crafted from durable hardwood ash and features brass-coated hardware to prevent rusting. While it is built for longevity, it is best to keep it dry and wipe it down if it is exposed to moisture to maintain the integrity of the wood.
The interior base measures 12 inches by 10 inches. This provides enough room for a standard 9-inch pie plate or a variety of containers for a picnic for two.
Yes, the personalization option involves laser engraving on a cherry wood plaque that is securely attached to the basket. This creates a permanent, custom detail that makes the basket a great gift.
The limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. It ensures that your handwoven basket remains a functional heirloom for years to come.
