Know before you buy
The oxidized finish is an eco-friendly process that reacts with the natural tannins in the Appalachian white ash to create a deep, driftwood grey color. This gives the basket a rustic, weathered aesthetic while maintaining the structural integrity of the wood.
Yes, the basket is safe for serving bread, rolls, or pastries. However, it is best practice to line the basket with a cloth napkin or parchment paper to keep crumbs contained and protect the wood from oils or butter.
To clean, simply wipe the basket with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals, as this can damage the natural wood fibers and the oxidized finish.
Absolutely. Its rectangular shape and sturdy construction make it ideal for organizing items like mail, guest towels, or craft supplies. Its neutral driftwood grey tone allows it to blend seamlessly into various home decor styles.
The warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. If you experience issues related to the weaving or the integrity of the white ash within the first year, you can contact the manufacturer for support.
