  • Wall Damage

    Use appropriate anchor for weight — drywall alone fails over 5 lb.

  • Dye Runoff

    Test dyed reed for colorfastness before hanging on light walls.

  • Dust

    Woven surfaces collect dust — gentle vacuum not water on natural reed.

Safety Notes

  • Confirm wall anchor rated for basket plus contents.
  • Keep away from direct heat registers — dries and cracks reed.
