Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from rattan reed over a solid hardwood bottom about a half inch thick, with a hardwood rim, two leather handles riveted through the weave and a solid wood lid, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it. The Family-Size Hamper: 25 x 17 inches at the rim and 25 1/2 inches tall: a family's week of laundry in one hamper, and because it is oval it stands along a wall where a round hamper this size would stand out into the room. A Lift-Off Oval Lid: One piece of solid wood with a wooden knob, lifted off with one hand and set back flat. For a lid that opens from either side, there is also the Large Hamper with Hinged Lid. Measures: 25" x 17" x 25 1/2" tall. Contents not included. Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on. Optional Extras: A durable hand-sewn cotton liner made for the oval shape, protective feet and an engraved solid brass plate are each optional and sold right on this page. The hamper ships unlined and is complete without them. American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order. This is the hamper for a family. "What we love most about it is it doesn't take up too much space because it's oval but the holding capacity is still phenomenal!" Jennifer wrote in 2024. Catherine measured hers: "it can hold a week's worth of laundry from three people." Theresa: "The wood smells amazing. We searched for quite a while for a laundry basket that would fit our needs." It reads as furniture. Catherine again: "This hamper is beautiful, almost like a piece of furniture. The craftsmanship is excellent; the liner is easy to get in and out." Mary, in 2024: "The top is great quality & pretty wood. The added buttons around the top is a nice touch." Carolyn: "Very large and the lid is so sturdy." Ellen keeps hers in the laundry room, "Beautiful addition to the laundry room." Many of these hampers go out with the liner sewn for the oval, or get one later: it lifts the week out in one piece and washes by machine, and it is on this page any time after the hamper arrives. The 25 by 17 inches are the outside of the rim, and the sides flare out slightly from the base. The bottom is solid hardwood and takes a set of casters at home if you want it to roll. For a round hamper with a lift-off lid, the Wicker Hamper with Lid; for a corner, the Corner Hamper; for the hinged lid, the Large Hamper with Hinged Lid. All of them are on the hampers with lids page. An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our laundry baskets, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked. Measures: 25" x 17" x 25 1/2" tall
