FAQs

Does the lid sit tight?

It rests on the rim rather than clipping shut, which is normal for woven grass. It stays put but is not airtight.

Can I keep food in it?

Only packaged food. Loose or damp food should not go directly into a woven grass basket.

How is this different from the open beige basket?

This one has a lid and is the larger 9.5 x 6.5 in piece. The beige basket is open-topped and taller in proportion.
