Reviews

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

LABBSAL basketAnonymous reviewerPurchased with KALLAX great quality, appearance and stores more items than I thought they would. Really happy with them.5
Great product, would definitely recommend Anonymous reviewerI went for these baskets in particular to complement the Kallax shelving unit, very pleased5
Natural and modern Anonymous reviewerReally nice change to the white I had previously. Added warmth to the room. Good study boxes though much fiddlier to put together than I’d thought! 5
Best storage boxes for shelving!Anonymous reviewerThese are great easy to put together and strong and sturdy. Good way to hide all the bits you don’t want on show or take up too much space when not boxed. Would buy again and if needed.5
A tip for easy assembly!Anonymous reviewerFor those who are struggling to put these boxes together, turn the box upside down and put the base inside. This holds the box square while you put the bracket and screws in around the top. You will see tiny little holes that have been made to guide you. Then just remove base, turn right way up and place the base back in to the bottom. Makes it so much easier!! Time will tell re the mould issue.....5
Wicker BoxAnonymous reviewerSmaller inside, very deceiving 2
Basket CaseAnonymous reviewerIt’s a natural product woven basket. Appears to be well constructed and sturdy. Simple to assemble and looks nice. 5
Awkward to Assemble Anonymous reviewerAssembly is awkward, need 16 pairs of hands. 2
Awkward to assembleAnonymous reviewerThey look nice but bought these before I read the reviews. A pain to assemble and far more complicated than they need to be. Having read that they can go mouldy, I’ve returned and swapped them out for for the branas baskets which are much easier to put together, even if they don’t look quite so nice. 2

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.
