5L Plastic Storage Basket with Rattan Look and Handles

Keep small household items together in this compact 5 litre storage basket. The rectangular plastic basket measures 28 x 15 x 13cm, making it suitable for many cupboard shelves, open storage units, wardrobes and kitchen worktops.

The brown rattan-look finish provides the appearance of woven wicker baskets while retaining the practical cleaning properties of plastic. Unlike real rattan or wicker storage baskets, the surface can be wiped with a damp cloth when dust or dirt collects on it.

Use the basket as a kitchen cabinet organiser for packaged food, as a wardrobe organiser for socks and accessories, or as a children’s room storage basket for craft materials and small toys. The integrated handles help you pull the organiser from a deep cabinet or lift it from a high shelf.

Compact Storage for Cabinets, Shelves and Worktops

With a capacity of 5 litres, this storage basket is intended for smaller items that might otherwise become scattered around a cupboard, drawer or room. Its approximate internal width is 14.7cm, while the internal depth is approximately 12.7cm.

Measure the available shelf, cabinet or drawer space before ordering. Leave additional clearance around the handles so that you can remove the basket without tilting it or catching it against the cupboard frame.

Use it as a:

• Kitchen cabinet organiser for seasoning packets, snacks and baking supplies
• Cabinet organiser for cables, chargers and small office items
• Wardrobe organiser for socks, underwear, belts and scarves
• Closet organiser for accessories and personal care products
• Worktop storage basket for frequently used kitchen items
• Toy storage basket for building blocks, playing cards and small figures
• Storage box for cleaning cloths, sponges or clothes pegs
• Pantry organiser for packaged food and small supplies

The open top provides a clear view of the contents. There is no lid or clip closure, allowing frequently used items to be removed and returned quickly.

Kitchen Basket for Food Supplies, Vegetables and Utensils

Use this kitchen basket to group smaller packets and everyday supplies by category. Keep breakfast products together, create a separate basket for baking ingredients or organise napkins, coasters and small utensils.

Store vegetables in a clean and organised way in this basket. It is suitable for holding vegetables, fruit, kitchen utensils and tableware. However, certification for direct food contact is not specified.

For unpackaged food, use the original packaging or add a clean, removable liner. Check regularly for moisture, damaged produce or leaking packets.

As a fruit basket, it is most suitable for firm, uncut produce that can be stored outside the refrigerator. Always follow the storage recommendations for each fruit or vegetable. Different products may require separate storage because they do not all need the same temperature, humidity or airflow.

Storage Basket for Children’s Rooms and Toys

Use this children’s room storage basket to keep smaller categories of toys and craft supplies together. Separating colouring materials, puzzle pieces and doll accessories can make tidying easier than placing everything in one large storage box.

Suitable contents include:

• Coloured pencils and capped felt-tip pens
• Craft paper and stickers
• Small toy cars and figures
• Puzzle pieces stored inside a separate bag
• Doll clothing and accessories
• Card games and dice stored in a box
• Hair accessories
• Dressing-up accessories
• Small books and activity cards

Place very small parts inside a closed bag or smaller container before putting them in the basket. Keep small parts away from young children when they may present a choking risk.

Organising a Wardrobe or Closet

In a bedroom, this plastic storage basket works as a wardrobe organiser or closet organiser. Sort items by purpose and place the most frequently used baskets at eye level or within easy reach.

Useful storage categories include:

• Socks and underwear
• Belts and ties
• Scarves and gloves
• Sports accessories
• Hair and fashion accessories
• Small towels
• Personal care products
• Seasonal accessories

Using several storage boxes or baskets with fixed categories prevents small items from disappearing at the back of the wardrobe. This storage box contains one open compartment, allowing you to create your own arrangement with smaller bags, boxes or dividers.

Stacking, Nesting and Combining Storage Baskets

The product specifications describe this basket as stackable and suitable for nesting inside other matching baskets. It has no lid, and no maximum stacking load is specified.

Only stack filled baskets when they remain stable and the contents are not being compressed. Do not place a heavy basket above lightweight, fragile or loose items.

Empty baskets can be nested inside one another to reduce the amount of storage space they require. For everyday organisation, place several baskets side by side and label each one according to its contents.

A stackable storage basket can help organise shelves vertically, but always check stability before creating a taller arrangement.

• Cleaning accessory basket
• Bathroom cupboard organiser

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check whether the storage basket will fit inside my cabinet?

Measure the usable internal length, width and height rather than the cabinet’s external dimensions. Leave extra space around the handles and above the basket so it can be pulled forward without tilting.

Can potatoes and onions be stored together in this kitchen basket?

It is better to store onions and potatoes separately. Keeping them together may cause both to deteriorate more quickly. Use a separate clean basket for each and place them in a suitable cool, dry and dark location.

What does stackable mean when a storage basket has no lid?

The basket is described as stackable and nestable, but no filled stacking capacity is specified. Check stability carefully and avoid placing heavy baskets above lightweight, breakable or easily compressed contents.

How can very small items be organised inside this basket?

Place screws, beads, puzzle pieces or small toy parts inside labelled resealable bags or smaller boxes first. Put those containers inside the basket to prevent the contents from mixing or becoming difficult to find.
