  • Climate Control

    Maintain 45-55% relative humidity — reed shrinks in dry air and loosens in damp conditions.

  • Acid-Free Wrap

    Wrap baskets in acid-free tissue before boxing — newsprint yellows and stains natural fibers.

  • No Direct Sun

    UV light bleaches dyed reeds and weakens fibers — store away from windows.

Safety Notes

  • Store baskets off floor in climate-stable room — attics and basements damage reed.
  • Avoid stacking heavy items on stored baskets — deformation is permanent.
