looking for square 'cubby' baskets

15 years ago

I thought for sure I'd find these at Target... but no! I have a bunch of new "cubbies" in a wall of built-ins in my basement family room. I need baskets that are 12" w x 12" h and up to 18" deep. Of course they don't have to be exact, but I tried a basket that was a few inches smaller and it looked dumb. Any suggestions for where to look online? Thanks!

    Did you check Pottery Barn?

    Here is a link that might be useful: baskets

    Here's one that's kind of close though not sure which side the handle is on Waterhyacinth Basket with Handle.

    Micheal's and Hobby Lobby carry loads of baskets too, but not sure they have them online. Hob Lob might.

    I too have been searching for baskets for the cubbies under the seat of our hall tree with no luck. I think I'm going to make some out of wood and cover them with bamboo table runners/placemats.

    Ikea has some great ones! Various sizes: I like the "Branas" series best.

    I am trying to avoid Ikea... it's almost an hour away and that place gives me a headache... but it's probably the best option in terms of price. I did look at PB but none were quite right, and I really don't want to spend $30 per basket. Will probably take a trip to Ikea later this week.

    Hi!

    I have canvas baskets that I got at Lowe's. They have many colors and I used them for my desk. It is hard to see from the pic, but they have handles on them to pull them out.

    I'll post when my daughter wakes up; she has what I think are 12x12; not sure how tall they are. I either got them from Walmart or target. The rest of the baskets I have came from Ross; Marshall's & TJ Maxx

    Just looked; the ones I have are from Target; I usually leave one tag on in case I need to buy more. It's called large milk crate 13x13 x 11 high

    Target Wicker basket link

    Target hides baskets all over the store; baby section; housewares; bedding then another spot by the knobs.

    Have to take my daughter to school..

    I have the Pier1 ones linked earlier. They are really crooked and wonky though...I'm not happy with them. I settled after looking daily for months and not being able to find anything else that was the right size. Good luck! Other places that have them - Crate and Barrel and World Market.

    I don't know if the size would work for you, but The Container Store has some lined wicker baskets.

    Regina, did they get wonky with use? I've seen them at the store and though they were nice, but so not worth it they aren't strong enough to handle normal use. That's good to know.

    Saw a bunch of baskets this weekend ... Target, Cost Plus World Market, and TJ Maxx.

    I went to Ikea late last week planning to buy square baskets that I saw on their site, but IRL they were something like 12.5" x 13", not 12" x 12" like I thought, so they were just slightly too big. But I found even better baskets that are something like 11" x 12" and I think 15" or 16" deep, which is great because the cubbies are 18" deep. I am still finishing up hanging some pictures, etc., but will be posting "after" pics soon. We're very happy with our new space!
