Steel Mesh Round Wastebasket for Under a Desk or Corner

An open mesh basket lets air through, which is the whole point of it. It also lets everyone see what you threw away.

What Are the Key Features of This Steel Mesh Basket's Reinforced Rim?

• Black wire, not silver or white - the weave goes dark and the bag behind it stops being the first thing a visitor sees.
• Open mesh all the way round - air moves through the sides, so damp paper dries out instead of sitting sealed against a solid wall and turning.
• Solid edging top and bottom, on a solid metal base - the rim is where wire baskets fray and snag; this one is finished at both ends and stands flat.
• 600 g - lifted with two fingers, emptied one handed, and light enough that a child can be sent to do it.
• Soap and a damp cloth - wire holds on to nothing, so you wipe it, shake off the excess water and let it air dry.

Where Can You Use This Round Steel Mesh Basket?

• Under a desk, in a room people sit in
• In the corner of a bedroom
• Beside a dressing table
• In a student room
• In a small office

Why Can't a Plastic Basket Be Ventilated the Way This Steel Mesh One Is?

• Black hides what the weave shows - a pale basket reads every crumpled ball through it, and white yellows and smears in an office.
• Steel is the only way to ventilate a basket - a plastic one with holes goes oval the first time somebody stands it on its side.
• Finished at both ends that fail - solid edging on the top rim and the bottom, so cut wire cannot catch a bag, then a hand, then splay.
• A correction we owe you - our English title has called this basket plastic; the manufacturer's record says steel, and steel is what arrives.
