Willow reeds woven by hand form a round basket 10 inches in diameter and 10.5 inches tall, stained a rich brown. A removable liner drops inside so no plastic bag is needed, and it lifts back out for washing when the basket serves a bathroom or a desk.
The brown stain deepens the grain of the willow reeds and pulls the basket toward walnut furniture, leather seating, and the darker woods common in farmhouse and rustic rooms. Because each piece is woven by hand, color and pattern vary slightly from one basket to the next.
The liner is removable and washable, which lets the basket handle bathroom or office waste without a plastic bag rustling at the rim. Rinsing it and setting it back in place keeps the willow itself dry and cuts down on the steady use of disposable bags.
Nothing about the shape ties it to trash. Set a potted plant inside the liner, or use the 10 inch opening to corral yarn, rolled magazines, and newspapers beside a chair. In a hallway it can hold gloves and a dog leash at the height of a small side table.
