Know before you buy
The basket is crafted from Appalachian white ash, which is naturally moisture-resistant. While it handles humid environments well, we recommend keeping it in a well-ventilated area to ensure the wood stays in top condition.
The basket is built for durability with riveted construction and sturdy leather handles, making it capable of carrying a full load of laundry, firewood, or heavy groceries. Its robust design is intended for daily, heavy-duty use.
The hardware is brass-coated and specifically chosen for its rust-resistant properties. It is designed to maintain its integrity and appearance even when exposed to the moisture typical of laundry tasks.
The handles are securely riveted to the ash frame for maximum strength. While they are designed for long-term durability, they are not intended to be user-replaceable.
Yes, the basket is handcrafted with a smooth finish appropriate for holding textiles. However, as with any natural wood product, we recommend being mindful of loose threads or very delicate lace when loading the basket.
