Thank you for viewing. My wife made this by hand several years ago. The material is natural brown rattan, a type of vine. It's flexible, strong, durable, lightweight, and warm, with a unique texture only hand-woven items can have. The handle isn't perfectly straight, but that handmade quality gives it a sense of rhythm and visual interest. It has been stored in a bag since it was made. Size: Approximately 30cm x 31cm x 27cm (height) It's durable because it's made of brown rattan vine. How about using it to hold something or as interior decor? Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection, as this is a handmade item. I'm sorry, but I cannot offer any further discounts. It will be shipped in a cardboard box. I will cut a large box to adjust the size.
