Crafted by hand in the United States from a high-performance polypropylene and nylon blend, this braided storage basket brings durable organization to living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways where everyday items need a permanent home. The Woodstock Handmade Basket by Rhody Rug is available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping. Its flat-braid construction holds shape under weight, so you can load it with blankets, toys, or magazines without sagging or crushing.
How Is This Basket Actually Built?
Each piece is handmade by American artisans using a flat-braid technique that interlaces polypropylene and nylon fibers into a rigid, coiled form. The 65% polypropylene / 35% nylon blend resists wear in high-traffic spots and wipes clean quickly when spills or dust settle in. Space-dyeing randomizes the color along each strand, so every basket carries a unique multicolor pattern -- no two look exactly alike -- and slight size variations of up to ± 3% are part of the handcrafted nature.
What Sizes and Colors Can You Choose?
You pick from three sizes and six colors. Sizes are 10 in. W x 8 in. H for shelves and small cubbies, 14 in. W x 10 in. H for open storage units, and 18 in. W x 12 in. H for floor placement beside sofas or armchairs. Colors -- Indigo, Forest, Hickory, Maroon, Khaki, and Onyx -- coordinate with a wide range of decor styles, from coastal to farmhouse to modern.
How Long Does It Take to Build?
This piece is made to order in 8-10 weeks, hand-braided to strict quality standards once you choose your size and color. Because it's built for you rather than pulled from warehouse stock, the timeline allows artisans to craft each basket start to finish. It ships ready to use -- no assembly required -- and arrives with free standard curbside delivery to the continental USA.
Where Would You Use a Braided Basket in Your Space?
The 18-inch size works beautifully on the floor beside a sofa to hold throw blankets, or on a wide shelf alongside books and candles. Pair a 14-inch basket with decorative bowls on open shelving in the living room, or use the 10-inch version in a bedroom closet to wrangle scarves and accessories.
