Will the basket lay flat against the wall, or will it protrude?
Most woven wall baskets have a slightly curved structure, but they are designed to lay flat against the wall when properly hung. A strong attachment will minimize any tilt.
Is this basket lightweight or heavy?
Woven baskets are generally lightweight due to their natural materials, making them easy to hang without requiring heavy-duty wall anchors.
Can I use this basket as a serving tray or fruit bowl?
While primarily designed for wall decor, some baskets can be used as trays or bowls for lightweight items like fruits, but they are not food-safe unless specifically mentioned.
Does the basket have a specific front and back side?
Yes, handwoven baskets usually have a more defined pattern on the front side, while the back may have slight variations or show the weaving knots.
How do I prevent insects or pests from damaging the basket?
To keep pests away, store the basket in a dry place and occasionally wipe it with a cloth. Using natural repellents like lavender sachets nearby can help deter insects.
Is this basket prone to unraveling or fraying over time?
With proper care, the basket remains intact for years. Avoid pulling on loose strands, and trim any minor frays carefully with scissors.
Will the basket develop a musty smell if kept in storage?
If stored in a damp area, natural fibers may absorb moisture, leading to a musty odor. Keep it in a dry, ventilated space to prevent this.
Can I use multiple baskets to create a gallery wall effect?
Absolutely! Mixing different sizes and patterns of baskets creates a beautiful gallery-style arrangement that enhances any space.
