The Hichen 15.7-inch storage unit is a textile basket made using a coiled-spiral construction method. The 100% cotton rope provides a thick wall (roughly 8mm to 10mm), which gives it a higher friction coefficient compared to synthetic baskets. This means it is less likely to slide around on smooth surfaces. The handles are integrated into the rope coil itself, a design that offers better sheer strength than handles that are simply stitched onto the surface of a bin.
As with most woven rope products, this basket arrives vacuum-sealed and will require some manual shaping to reach its full advertised dimensions. Steam-ironing the creases or keeping it full of linens for a few days will help it achieve its intended cylindrical shape. The soft material is a practical choice for homes with hardwood floors or delicate furniture, as it will not leave scratches. However, because it is non-rigid, the basket may begin to collapse or lose its shape if it is left less than half-full for long periods.
- Safety: Chemical-free textile composition makes it suitable for nurseries and infant play areas.
- Aesthetic: The neutral woven texture fits well with most home decor styles.
- Maintenance: The textured surface can attract dust, so regular shaking out or light vacuuming is recommended.
For a larger capacity version of this same style, the Large Pink Storage Basket offers similar cotton rope construction in a bigger size.
