Grey Wash Willow Wicker Square Storage Baskets available in three sizes: large, medium and small. These baskets are made from grey washed full buff willow wicker and have a removable natural lining. Use the large grey wash willow wicker square storage baskets for storing clothes,  and the medium basket for crafts and toys, no chance of catching anything on the wicker ends with the lining in place. The medium basket is just the right size for an Ikea Kallax Unit, while the small basket would make a nice waste paper bin and the large basket is big enough for a small toy or log basket.  These Grey Wash Willow Square Storage Baskets are also available in the natural buff willow finish. Mix and Match the two colours on a storage unit for a different look and a versatile storage solution.  At Choice Baskets we stock a selection of grey wash willow baskets, click here to see the full range which is growing as our suppliers expand their range too. Once you've decided on the colour, the next decision is the style. Willow baskets are very versatile.  These are much hardier and can be used outside as they will survive in all weathers.  Usually a stronger weave, they are very sturdy and solid.  Grown in fields and by river banks as willow, the branches are stripped of their outer layer and usually treated before weaving.  The end product is well suited to carrying weight although the baskets themselves are lightweight. Buff Willow is cropped mainly in November, but sometimes not until December. It is the most popular and is obtained by boiling the willows to release the natural colourant tannin from  the bark into the wood. The bark is then stripped from the willow revealing the characteristic golden colour. The baskets are dipped in a diluted paint solution to produce the contemporary grey colour.
