Rectangular Wicker Storage Basket Handwoven to Custom Dimensions in Rattan with a Solid Wood Bottom

A rectangular wicker storage basket brings household items together in a size designed for your space. Handwoven from rattan reed with a solid wood bottom, this custom basket can organize craft supplies, pet toys, quilts or pillows while adding woven texture to a cubby, shelf or room.

Each basket is made in the USA by an Amish basket-weaving family and signed by its crafter. Customize the design with optional leather handles, a machine-washable cloth liner, a lift-off wooden lid or an engraved brass plate. Wine, blue and green trim can be used individually or combined, or the basket can be made without trim.

Plan your dimensions around the basket's outside measurements across the top. Handmade sizing can vary, so leave clearance for cubby storage and allow extra space for any projecting loop handles, protective feet or optional lid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I size this basket for a cubby?

Order the rectangular wicker basket at least 1 inch smaller than the cubby opening to leave room for handmade size variation and easier removal. Basket dimensions are measured outside across the top. Leave additional clearance on the ends if you select loop handles.

How precise are the custom basket dimensions?

The handwoven basket may vary by up to 1/2 inch, or up to 3/4 inch for large baskets. Dimensions are specified in whole inches, and the minimum basket height is 3 inches.

Does the basket include a lid or cloth liner?

The wooden lid and cloth liner are optional additions to the rectangular basket. The lift-off lid has a leather lifting strap and adds approximately 1 inch of height including the strap; the hand-sewn liner is machine washable.

Which handle style suits carrying or cubby storage?

A leather pull handle suits removing the basket from a cubby and can be positioned on its length or width. Optional short loop handles sit on the two width sides for carrying, while long carrying straps sit on the two length sides for one-handed carrying.

How are baskets longer than 24 inches reinforced?

Rectangular baskets 25–32 inches long receive a solid wood frame inside the top for added strength. The frame sits inside the basket and leaves the ordered outside dimensions unchanged.

Can I personalize the basket and choose its trim?

The rectangular basket can be personalized with an optional engraved solid brass plate for a name, contents label or saying. The plate can be placed on a longer or shorter side, and trim can be wine, blue, green, a combination of those colors or omitted.
