Plastic laundry baskets, rattan-effect hampers, grocery baskets and detergent boxes produced in Turkey. Baskets are a bulky, high-visibility retail article: they sell on look and capacity, and they are shipped nested to keep freight sane. Capacities are listed in litres on every article so you can build a capacity ladder for the shelf.
Rattan-effect moulding changed this category. A moulded basket that reads as woven sells at a homeware price rather than a utility price, and it survives a wet load that would destroy real rattan. If your shelf currently carries a plain perforated basket at the bottom price, the rattan-effect article is the obvious step up rather than a replacement.
Capacity is the number the shopper compares, so list it. The ladder that works in most markets is one small basket for a single household, one large hamper for a family, and one lidded model for a bathroom. Adding a fourth size rarely adds sales; adding a lid usually does.
Freight is the constraint. Baskets nest, but the nested stack is still tall, so the carton volume per piece stays high compared with jars or spice sets. The usual fix is to build the container around baskets first, then fill the remaining volume with dense articles — spice jars, salt shakers or storage containers.
For retail presentation, ask about the polybag and the label position before the order. A basket arrives on the shelf naked; a scuff from the container is visible immediately and it is the most common reason this category gets marked down.

Several, listed in litres per article on the product page. Most buyers stock a small and a large model plus one lidded version.
Yes. They still take volume, so a container is normally planned around the baskets first and filled with dense articles afterwards.
No — it is a moulded rattan effect in plastic. It reads as woven on the shelf and tolerates wet laundry, which real rattan does not.
Yes, on request. It is worth the small extra cost on any basket that will be sold unpackaged, because container scuffing is the main cause of markdowns here.
