Tall Laundry Basket | Round Amish Wicker Hamper w/Leather Handles

Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven by an Old Order Amish family and signed by the weaver who made it. No two baskets are exactly alike. Tall, Upright Design: Stands 18" high and 17" across the open top, tapering to a 12 1/2" base, so it holds a full load of laundry while fitting tight spots a wide basket never could: beside the washer, inside a closet, in a bathroom corner. Holds a Full Load: About a bushel and a half of laundry (roughly 13 gallons), so a complete washer load fits with room to spare. Leather Carry Handles: Two riveted leather side handles make the trip to the laundry room easy, even fully loaded. Optional Hand-Sewn Liner: Add a matching cloth liner to keep delicate fabrics from ever catching on the weave. American Heritage: Woven from thick rattan reed in the USA, signed by the family, and backed by our lifetime guarantee. Most laundry baskets sprawl. This tall laundry basket stands up straight instead, turning a full load of laundry into a narrow, upright column that tucks in beside the washer, slides into a closet, and stays out of the walkway. If you have measured a spot and come up short on floor space, this is the basket that fits it. The height is not the only thing working for you. The open top makes it a one-handed toss from anywhere in the room, and when wash day comes, the riveted leather handles let you carry a heaping load without the flex and crackle of a plastic basket. Customers tell us the same thing over and over about our laundry baskets: they bought one to replace a plastic basket that was falling apart, and it turned out to be the last one they ever needed. It is also a shame to hide a basket like this in the laundry room. The same tall round shape that swallows dirty clothes makes a beautiful blanket basket beside the couch, a towel basket in the bath, or a toy catch-all in a nursery. More than one customer has told us their basket was too nice looking to keep in the closet. Every basket is woven from thick rattan reed by an Old Order Amish family using patterns passed down through generations, then signed by hand before it leaves the farm. It is built to be passed down, and we back that up with a lifetime guarantee. If you plan to use it for laundry every day, add the hand-sewn liner. It protects delicate fabrics from ever snagging on the weave and lifts out for easy washing. Measures: 17" diameter x 18" tall (12 1/2" at the base)
