Modern Mesh Storage Basket – Metal Wire Body with Wooden Handles, 25×25×18cm

Countertops disappear under fruit, bathroom shelves drown in bottles, and the office desk turns into a paper avalanche — the Modern Mesh Storage Basket is WIMU's answer to all three. Its open metal wire body lets air circulate and lets you see exactly what's inside at a glance, so nothing gets forgotten at the back of a cupboard again. Two smooth wooden handles arc over the top, giving your hand a comfortable, splinter-free grip whether you're hauling laundry down the hallway or carrying snacks out to the veranda. The mesh construction keeps the basket surprisingly light for its size, yet the sturdy wire frame holds its shape under a full load of produce, toys, or toiletries without sagging or bending. With its clean industrial-meets-natural look, it slots into a minimalist kitchen, a boho bathroom, or a tidy home office equally well, doing double duty as a decluttering tool and a piece of quiet, functional décor.

Buying guide

Think about where the basket will live before you pick a colour: black or white blend into almost any kitchen or office, while red, yellow, or purple can double as a cheerful accent in a kids' room or a boho-styled bathroom. The 25 × 25 × 18 cm size is generous enough for a week's worth of fruit and vegetables, a full load of bath towels, or a stack of files and stationery, but still compact enough to slide onto a standard shelf or countertop corner. Because the sides are open mesh rather than solid, it's a better pick for items that need airflow — onions, potatoes, or damp gym kit — than for anything you'd want fully hidden from view. If you're organizing a small space, buy two: one for the kitchen counter and one for the bathroom, so decluttering becomes a one-basket-per-room habit rather than a single overflowing catch-all.

How it compares

Compared to solid plastic bins, this mesh basket wins on visibility and airflow — you never have to dig or guess what's inside, and produce or damp items won't sweat or trap odours the way they can in a sealed container. Compared to plain wire baskets with metal handles, the wooden grips here are kinder on the hands and add a warmer, more natural look that suits modern Kenyan homes moving away from all-plastic storage. It's sturdier and better-looking than flimsy woven baskets that sag under weight, yet far lighter and easier to carry than heavy ceramic or ironwood alternatives, making it the practical middle ground between style, strength, and everyday usability.

Frequently asked questions

Is this basket sturdy enough for a full load of fruit and vegetables?
Yes. The metal mesh frame is built to hold its shape under a full load of produce, toiletries, or household items without bending or sagging, while staying light enough to lift with one hand via the wooden handles.

Can I use it outside the kitchen?
Absolutely. Its open design and neutral-to-bold colour options make it just as suited to bathroom toiletries, office supplies, toys and crafts, or general household organizing as it is to kitchen produce.

How do I clean it?
Wipe the metal mesh down with a damp cloth to remove dust or spills, and dry the wooden handles promptly rather than soaking them, to keep the wood grain looking fresh.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes — same-day delivery within Nairobi and countrywide shipping to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and beyond, with payment by M-Pesa or on delivery.
