Reviews

Good strong storageAnonymous reviewerNever had a problem with these going black, but I don't expose them to water. They are good strong baskets, simple to put together. Be mindful that they are all individual so don't expect them all to look the same and be aware of damaged corners before purchase.5
Difficult to assembleAnonymous reviewerThe basket itself looks nice but was very fiddly and difficult to put the corner braces and screws in. One basket took the same amount of time as it did to put a Kallax unit together on my own. Ridiculous! The old version had clips, I would not buy this again!2
DisappointingAnonymous reviewerBought 2 of these along with another style for my kallax unit.not the cheapest of solutions but wanted to add texture and something different to my kallax unit. I unpacked them when I got home...firstly realised they needed screwing together, not the usual unfold and good to go...no big deal. I wanted to see what they all looked like together in my unit in the room so arranged them and realised it wasn't quite the look I wanted so took them all back to store with my receipt. Was advised I could only get the money back on to a gift card as the items had been unpacked?! NB packing consisted of a cardboard tube over one side of each box and 2 cable ties to fasten. How can you get a feel for the item in your chosen room without unpacking?! Please be aware that you will not receive a full refund back to your payment method if you unpack!2
Great basketsAnonymous reviewerBaskets look good and finish off Kallax shelving unit.5
TidyAnonymous reviewerPleased, now have a more stylish look to my kallx init after redecorating. Construction goes a tad out of line but look good in the end. Hard to see prepared screw holes.5
Nice, but fiddly!Anonymous reviewerNice when assembled, but delivered flat pack, and for such a simple thing, assembling it was one of the fiddliest things I’ve ever done - tiny screws need to inserted at a very awkward angle to brace and support the base.3
Good solid box. Attractive storage.Anonymous reviewerThe box is practical as well as stylish. It finishes my Kallax storage unit well.4
Very sturdyAnonymous reviewerLook nice . Very sturdy5
Spacious basketsAnonymous reviewerWonderful solution to keep your stuff. Easy to build, nice natural material, looks amazing.5
StunningAnonymous reviewerEasy to put together, wish I’d got these sooner. Really make my kallax(dark green) look beautiful really sets it off. Great value5
DisappointedAnonymous reviewerReally disappointed with these. Got the for my porch to store gloves hats etc, after seeing inspiration with them in a porch, with 2 months they ate going mouldy and its been summer and my porch isn't damp there is no protection on them at all. Next time buy plastic1
PerfectAnonymous reviewerBit fiddly to assemble (for an 83yr old) but well worth the effort. Exactly what I wanted5
LabbsalAnonymous reviewerFits into my unit and I can get all my husband’s rubbish into all the baskets so that the room looks neat and tidy - result!5
Love these basketsAnonymous reviewerI absolutely love these baskets. I switched from the BRANÄS to these and could not be happier. They look great and are very sturdy. The only downside is that you need a screwdriver to put them together, but once assembled they’re excellent.5
Perfect for the unitsAnonymous reviewerEasy to build, work perfectly5
Gorgeous Anonymous reviewerBought to finish off my Kallax unit. So strong and sturdy. Great! 5
Great Kallax boxesAnonymous reviewerLove these boxes although for a 5 x 5 unit very expensive to buy all at £15 each. Quite fiddly to put together but once we got the hang of it was easier. There is a smell to the boxes when first unwrapped but that soon faded leaving quite elegant storage.5
Perfect Anonymous reviewerEasily put together if you turn upside down and place around the base to keep the shape, then place screws in by hand to start. Good quality and strong enough to be filled with boots and shoes. Didnt realise the pick up was from a van and there was going to be a 2 hour time slot. Probably in the small print. The delivery guys were great! 5
Perfect Anonymous reviewerBought to use in my dark green kallax unit. They've taken the piece of furniture to the next level. Very happy with the product but was surprised to find I had to construct the baskets with screws and hinges.5
Good & SturdyAnonymous reviewerWe already have the storage unit that these easily slot into5

Organize your home and help keep waterways free!

Water hyacinth is a beautiful and fast growing plant that unfortunately clogs the waterways where it grows. The dried stalks can be used to weave baskets, bowls and plant pots. This helps to naturally control its growth and create a better water flow, plus you can organize your home with beautiful objects made from nature.

Material

What is water hyacinth?

Water hyacinth is a free-floating plant that spreads quickly in tropical waterways. When covering the surface completely, it blocks out sunlight which disrupts biodiversity. Also, local communities suffer as transportation routes are clogged. When harvested, biodiversity is restored and waterways are kept open. The plant itself becomes a resource too. The stalks make a flexible material that can be woven or braided into unique baskets, mats and other home furnishings.
