Edergoo Water Hyacinth Set Analysis
This set of two baskets utilizes Grade A dried hyacinth fibers wrapped around an electroplated iron wire frame. The frame gauge, typically between 3mm and 4.5mm, is designed to provide stability and resist rust, which is helpful since water hyacinth naturally absorbs moisture from the air. The vertical wrap weaving technique maximizes the strength needed for stacking on shelves, though the built-in handles should be handled with care if the contents weigh more than 12 lbs.
Specifications indicate that these baskets are handmade, which can result in dimensional variations of up to 0.5 inches. For a proper fit, it is helpful to ensure your shelving has at least 0.75 inches of clearance to prevent the fibers from snagging on the shelf edges. The fibers are fumigated and sun-dried to manage the organic scents often associated with water hyacinth products.
- Designed for static shelf storage of linens or pantry goods.
- Nesting capability allows for space-saving storage when the baskets are not in use.
- Features a reinforced frame to prevent the slumping seen in non-wired alternatives.
The lid hinges are constructed from wrapped hyacinth fibers. To maintain the longevity of these fibers, it is best to avoid hyper-extending the lid beyond a 110-degree angle. In high-moisture areas like bathrooms without exhaust fans, keeping the basket in a well-ventilated spot will help maintain the fiber quality and prevent spotting.
For those who prefer a single-section storage option with a darker finish, the FOSSORH Coffee Seagrass Bins offer a different color profile for office or home use.
These units function effectively within a broader system of closet storage bins and baskets designed to organize seasonal items.
