The Wearever Flat Braid basket is handmade in the USA from texturized polypropylene that resists fading, fraying, and wear in busy rooms. At 18 inches long and 12 inches wide, it holds folded blankets, throw pillows, or a stack of magazines while adding woven texture to your floor or shelf. The Wearever Flat Braid Handmade Basket is available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping.

How Is This Basket Actually Made?

Each basket is handmade in the USA by braiding continuous polypropylene strands into a flat, interlaced structure that forms the walls and base. The texturized fibers lock together during braiding, creating a durable vessel that flexes without unraveling. Because every basket is crafted by hand, expect small size variations within ± 3% of the listed dimensions and subtle dye-lot differences between pieces.

What Can You Choose on This Basket?

You choose from ten colors -- neutral Almond and Dark Taupe for understated storage, or bold Marina Blue, Terra Cotta, and Moss Green when you want the basket to stand out. The flat braid pattern and 18 x 12-inch footprint remain consistent across all colors. This basket is made to order in the finish you select, so it arrives tailored to your space.

How Long Does It Take to Build?

This basket is built to order in 8-10 weeks. Once you select a color, the workshop braids your piece by hand and ships it to you at no extra charge anywhere in the continental USA. Because polypropylene is woven rather than sewn, the construction timeline reflects the artisan's schedule and the color queue.

Where Should You Put an 18-Inch Storage Basket?

Place it beside your sofa to hold throw blankets, on a nursery shelf for board books and soft toys, or in the bathroom for rolled towels. Stack two or three baskets on open shelving for a layered look, or pair it with decorative bowls when you're styling a console. The 12-inch width fits most cube organizers and narrow cabinet shelves without blocking the door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this basket made?

Every basket is handmade in the USA by artisans who braid texturized polypropylene into the flat structure you see.

Can I return a made-to-order basket?

Uptown Sebastian stands behind every piece with a 100% satisfaction guarantee -- if the basket doesn't fit your space or match your color expectations, reach out and the team will make it right.

How do I clean polypropylene braided storage?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry flat to keep the braid taut.

What size basket holds two or three throw blankets?

An 18-inch basket accommodates two to three folded throws; if you're storing bulkier quilts, look for a larger floor basket with deeper walls.

Will the color I see online match what arrives?

Dye lots vary slightly between production runs, and space-dyeing creates unique shading across the braid, so your basket may differ subtly from the product photo.

Does this basket work outdoors?

No, it's designed for indoor use -- polypropylene resists moisture better than wool or cotton, but the basket isn't treated for prolonged sun or rain exposure.
