Stands tall on its own, even empty — it ships folded, so unfold it any way you like: stuff it with blankets, steam the creases, or shape the sides by hand; the thick double-woven cotton rope then keeps its upright form for good, no frame or liner Holds a full family-size load — a true 26" tall x 20" wide (66 x 50 cm), swallowing 2-3 loads of laundry or piles of blankets, towels, pillows and comforters, so a busy family empties it far less often Fitted lid hides the mess — the matching cotton lid sits snug on top, keeping dirty laundry, clutter and pet gear out of sight so the room looks tidy on wash day, and keeping contents dust-free for blanket or off-season storage Built-in handles carry the whole load in one trip — sturdy handles are woven right into the body, so you can lift the full basket from bedroom to laundry room without stretching, tearing or spilling; easy to grab even when packed Handcrafted from 100% natural cotton rope — soft yet sturdy, no plastic, no stiff wicker, no sharp edges to snag your clothes; about 6 lbs of thick, densely woven rope built for years of everyday use Tall and space-saving — the upright flagon shape packs big capacity onto a small footprint, slipping neatly into a narrow bedroom, bathroom, nursery or closet corner where a wide hamper won't fit Decor-worthy and versatile — a blanket basket for the living room, catch-all bin for the nursery or extra storage for the closet; the handwoven Dual Grey finish brings a warm boho, modern-farmhouse look and makes a thoughtful housewarming gift
