This Hipiwe set of two flat bins is constructed with an 1.8mm gauge iron skeleton wrapped in 100% natural seagrass. The low-profile "flat" design makes these bins particularly useful for organizing linens or papers on shelves where vertical space is limited. The natural seagrass is biodegradable and provides an organic aesthetic that effectively hides household clutter.
Specifications show the bins utilize a woven fiber loop for the lid hinge. This design is best suited for items that are accessed occasionally rather than multiple times a day. Because the internal wire frame is a thinner gauge, the bins may arrive slightly out of square; they can be manually adjusted to ensure they stack evenly. The "Coffee" dye is water-soluble, so it is best to keep the bins dry to prevent any pigment transfer to light-colored shelving.
Upon unboxing, these bins may require a 48 to 72-hour aeration period to allow the natural seagrass scent to dissipate. While the lid helps keep contents out of sight, the weave is not airtight. To maintain the quality of the fibers, avoid placing the bins in high-humidity areas where the organic material could be susceptible to moisture-related spotting.
For a narrower storage solution that works well for magazines or tall documents, the Acdogeer Narrow Wicker Basket offers a different footprint for your office.
These bins are an excellent addition to closet storage bins and baskets focused on maintaining a tidy, natural look.
