Description

  • Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from rattan reed over a wood bottom, with a hardwood rim, a leather loop handle riveted through the weave at each end and two wooden runner feet underneath, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
  • The Couch-Side Size: 22 x 17 inches at the rim and 14 inches deep: two or three throws beside the couch, the extra pillows at bedtime, or the mittens and scarves by the back door, in a basket that sits next to the sofa without crowding it.
  • Runner Feet: Two wooden runners under the bottom lift the basket off floor by 2 1/4" and keep it square, so it sits above the floor instead of on it.
  • Measures: 22" x 17" x 14" tall. Contents not included.
  • Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
  • Optional Extras: A lift-off solid wood lid made for this basket, a hand-sewn cotton liner made for it, and an engraved solid brass plate are each optional and sold right on this page. The basket ships open and unlined and is complete without them.
  • American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order.

The blanket basket for beside the couch. "It is beautiful and so sturdy. My blankets fit nicely in it." Linda wrote in 2024. Jackie found it "sizable enough to hold 2-3 blankets"; Leslie's is "large enough to hold my couch blankets and very sturdy"; and Alice, who wanted it up on its feet, "was looking for something that sat above the floor and this is perfect."

With the lid on, it closes, and the cats stay off the blankets. "my extra blankets fit perfectly inside. I love the lid - works great to keep the cats off the blankets." Carrie wrote in 2024. The lid on this page is the one made for this basket; the Extra-Large Blanket Basket has its own lid on its own page. The liner is sewn for this basket, sold on this page as a paid option, and can be added any time after the basket arrives. Beverly "ordered one for a family member too".

The sizes are the outside of the rim; the sides flare out slightly from the base. For the whole pile, or for toys, the Extra-Large Blanket Basket at 27 x 18 x 16 is the next size up, nearly four cubic feet. Beside a reading chair, the Slim Magazine Basket holds the magazines and a few books upright. The rest of the family is on the living room baskets page.

An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our living room baskets, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.
