Wicker willow trunk chest baskets in four different sizes, each available separately. The cotton lining is removable and the lid is hinged with faux leather hinges, that have velcro fastenings. Stand these wicker willow trunk chest baskets on top of each other, get lots of storage and save space at the same time. Willow baskets are very versatile.  These are much hardier than many materials used for baskets, 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.Wicker willow trunk chest baskets in four different sizes, each available separately.
