Criusia fabric baskets utilize a tri-layer composite consisting of Cationic fabric, an EVA middle layer, and a polyester lining. Cationic fabric is specifically treated for better color depth and higher resistance to UV fading, making these bins a good choice for rooms that receive a lot of natural sunlight. The 2.5mm EVA layer provides "shape memory," which helps the bins stay upright and open even when they are empty.
The structural integrity is further enhanced by an integrated steel wire rim at the top. This frame prevents the "slouching" common in cheaper fabric bins and helps the unit maintain its rectangular footprint of 15 x 11 inches. The rope handles are attached via metal eyelets; while stylish and functional for light use, it is best to avoid carrying loads over 15 lbs to prevent tension at the grommet points.
These bins are designed to be foldable for storage. Because of the internal EVA and metal components, they should be spot-cleaned rather than machine-washed. To ensure the best performance, it is helpful to air them out for 24-48 hours after unboxing to allow the synthetic core materials to ventilate.
If you prefer a plastic bin that can be easily wiped down or used for heavier items, these large foldable storage bins might be a better fit.
These baskets are a premium addition to any collection of large woven and fabric baskets.
