The dimensions of this base are approximately 20″ length X 10 ½” width X 4″ height (at the highest point of the sides). The features of this basket are an open twill woven base with the base and sides both being woven from flat oval to give it an additional sturdiness. Can’t you just picture yourself out in the herb patch or flower patch collecting herbs to use with dinner or flowers to make an arrangement, with this basket. If your not a gardener, this basket can be used in many different ways, for storing magazines, for a great fruit or vegetable tray for the 4th of July (line with foil) or as a bath towel holder or knitting basket. Even your favorite cat may want to curl up in it for a nap.
