Know before you buy
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the iron and wood components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the basket in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can damage the natural wood.
The wire-framed design is best suited for larger produce like apples, oranges, or bananas. Smaller items like grapes or cherry tomatoes may slip through the gaps, so it is best to keep those in their original packaging or a smaller bowl.
Yes, the iron and mango wood construction provides a sturdy, weighted base. It is designed to sit flat on kitchen surfaces without wobbling during regular use.
No, this model is not designed to be stackable. It is intended as a single-tier centerpiece for your countertop.
The iron features a powder-coated finish, which provides a layer of protection against moisture. However, it is recommended to dry your produce before placing it in the basket to keep the finish looking its best over time.
