A handwoven rattan hamper built on a half-inch hardwood bottom with a hardwood rim, leather handles riveted through the weave, and a two-piece solid wood lid on hinges. Each is made by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border and signed by its weaver. The split lid lets you drop clothes in from either side of the bed one-handed, and the tapered body holds a family's week of laundry on less floor space than the rim suggests. It is a heavier, longer-lasting alternative to canvas or plastic hampers, at a higher cost and with no wheels.

Buyers rate it highly and describe it as sturdy, well made and good-looking in a bedroom. Owners single out the split hinged lid and the signed, handwoven construction. The main complaints are its weight when full and the price of the optional liner.
This large wicker laundry hamper is handwoven from rattan reed by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border. The weaver signs the bottom. It has a solid hardwood bottom about a half inch thick, a hardwood rim and two leather handles riveted through the weave.
The solid wood lid comes in two hinged halves, each with a wooden knob. It opens from either side with one hand. The whole lid also lifts off when you want the hamper fully open.
The hamper measures 21 x 17 1/2 inches at the rim and tapers to 16 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches at the bottom. It is 22 inches tall. The trim color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on. The solid bottom lets it stand square, and it can take a set of casters.
