Handmade in the USA from texturized polypropylene, this storage basket delivers the durability you need for high-traffic rooms and the tonal depth that hides everyday wear. The Easy Living Braided Handmade Basket, available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping, stores blankets, magazines, and daily-use items in a flat-braid construction that resists wear while maintaining its shape. Each piece is made to order in one of six space-dyed colors that add subtle variation to your room.

How Is This Basket Actually Built?

It's flat-braided by hand from continuous strands of polypropylene, a synthetic fiber that holds up under weight and resists moisture better than natural seagrass or water hyacinth. The space-dyed technique applies color randomly before braiding, so every basket carries unique tonal shifts that keep dirt from standing out. Crafted domestically, each piece supports American manufacturing standards and ships with slight size variation -- no more than three percent -- that's typical of handmade work.

What Can You Choose on This Piece?

Pick from six colors:

• Taupetone
• Warm Earth
• Herb Garden
• Spanish Red
• Charcoal
• Blue Lake

Each color is space-dyed, so expect subtle variation between rugs and dye lots -- that random effect is part of the design.

How Long Does It Take to Build?

This basket is made to order in 8-10 weeks. Because it's handcrafted domestically, your piece isn't pulled from warehouse stock -- it's braided for you once you choose your color. Free shipping to the continental USA on every order.

How Do You Use It Around the House?

Set it on the floor beside your sofa to corral two or three folded throw blankets, or tuck it under a console table in the entryway for shoes and scarves. Layer a few baskets in different sizes on open shelving, or pair with throw pillows and bowls on a coffee table for a collected look. The 18x12-inch opening holds rolled magazines, remote controls, and toys without tipping, and the polypropylene surface wipes clean with a damp cloth -- no special treatment needed for spills or muddy hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you put in a large woven basket in the living room?

Folded throw blankets, rolled magazines, remote controls, or children's toys are the most common fills for a living-room basket.

What size basket should I use to store blankets on the floor?

This 18x12-inch basket holds two to three folded throw blankets comfortably; measure your blankets folded to confirm fit before ordering.

What's the difference between seagrass, rattan, and water hyacinth baskets?

Seagrass and water hyacinth are natural plant fibers, while rattan is a vine; this basket uses synthetic polypropylene, which resists moisture better than all three natural materials.

Can I return a made-to-order piece?

Because this basket is handcrafted to order, return policies differ from in-stock items -- contact the store to confirm the terms before placing your order.

How should I clean a polypropylene braided basket?

Wipe with a damp cloth; the synthetic material resists staining and dries quickly without special cleaners.

Does this basket ship free?

Yes, all orders to the continental USA ship free with no minimum purchase.
