The Decrafts Seagrass set includes two nested baskets featuring an internal powder-coated iron frame for lateral stability. With a weave density of 4 to 6 strands per square inch, these baskets are more rigid than non-reinforced wicker options. The "Large" unit measures approximately 13 by 9 inches, providing ample space for snacks, toys, or media accessories.
The interface between the lid and the body uses a loop-and-toggle friction fit. This eliminates the need for plastic hinges that can break, though frequent use may lead to minor fraying of the fibers at the contact points. Because the internal wire frame has been treated for rust resistance, these baskets are more durable than lower-tier generic imports that omit this step.
Specifications indicate a sizing tolerance of 0.25 inches due to the hand-woven process. In dry rooms, the "fresh hay" scent of the seagrass is a natural characteristic that confirms the use of organic materials. To clean the deep crevices of the weave, using a vacuum attachment is more effective than wiping, as it removes dust without damaging the fibers.
If you are looking for a rounder shape for a corner or bedside table, the Casafield Round Hyacinth Basket offers a different geometric profile.
These nested sets are a versatile choice within the woven baskets with lids category for multi-room organization.
