wicker baskets

beki

Mama Doe
I was wondering about buying a wicker basket for ruby as i am sure she would like to chew it, and make a little bed out of it, she gets through the cardboard boxes very fast. Is any wicker ok? they have some nice sizes in ikea (not too big not too small - ruby sized) but i am worried about any varnish that it on them. What would the best basket be to get her, where would i get one from and should i avoid Ikea? (for baskets that is, not totally, although my boyfriend would prefer it if we never had to go there again!)
 
thanks sue, not seen those at ikea, i will have a look next time i go. Unfortunately for matt i am already planning another trip...more photoframes are needed!

Thanks too lildebs, i will check that one out too :)
 
My big tesco have some storage ones in at the minute they are untreated. little ones 3 for £6.

And it was this time last year that home bargains has untreated wicker laundry basket in. I have just thrown mine out, as they were falling apart and getting dangerous.
 
i go the charity shops for mine,they chew them like no tommorrow lol,may invest in those from ikea though may last a bit longer lol
