Handmade: Harvested from 100% seaweed: Each storage basket is unique and hand-woven by local craftsmen. There may be some flaws, please understand. The shape is not completely round. The plush variety (using interwoven wildwood fibers) is particularly soft and flexible, but still strong. They may not be able to stand on their own when empty Multi-purpose: Decoration, plant pot cover, creative storage, picnic, grocery basket, beach bag, laundry, toy storage bag, etc. It is usually used as a flowerpot to grow flowers to make your home more fashionable; as a foldable storage basket: folded into a bowl shape in the middle, which can be used for household storage such as clothes, quilts, dolls, etc. Collapsible & deform when squeezed: These artificial plants in the basket for plants with sturdy & moveable handles are not fixed with wire. Please make sure the place is flat to stand-out perfectly otherwise if the place is squeezed then it could be deformed. Note: plants cannot be grown directly in the basket, you just need to plant in pots. Basket will continue to take shape with continued use. Housewarming gift: Fill it up with goodies to make an ideal housewarming gift, hamper, or baby shower bundle.
