Know before you buy
The basket is crafted from steel and finished with an epoxy resin coating, which gives it a smooth, reflective surface that mimics the appearance of precious metals.
While the basket is food-safe, it is not designed for direct contact with wet or acidic foods. It is best suited for dry items like wrapped candies, bread, or decorative objects.
The epoxy resin finish is durable, but like any high-gloss metallic surface, it can be scratched by abrasive materials. We recommend using a soft cloth for cleaning and avoiding harsh scouring pads.
The Joy n. 11 features a smooth, freestanding base. If you are placing it on a delicate surface like a glass or polished wood table, you may want to use a small felt pad to prevent sliding or scratching.
Simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the reflective finish of the epoxy resin.
Because the basket is not water-resistant, it is not recommended for high-humidity environments like bathrooms where it might be exposed to standing water or steam.
