Review on Trademark Innovations Seagrass Baskets Handles by Alicia Mayne

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good price Nursery

I live in one of those old houses where the toilet is sandwiched between the shower and closet and there is only about 10 inches of space on each side (see picture). I wanted a toilet paper holder that didn't need to be drilled anywhere and could be easily hidden when getting in and out of the shower. This basket set isn't specifically advertised as a TP holder, but I was able to modify it to make it work. Firstly, it's cute as a basket, but the wooden handles (dowels) are too short to take anywhere. Even if you're just sitting still, moving something in or out of the basket will cause the handles to fall out of their slots. I ended up cutting out an old wooden broom handle to better fit the grooves. You can also use a 1-inch dowel from HomeDepot. I then untied the string from the center of the discarded handle and just wrapped it around an outer end of the dowel with hot glue (pic) so the dowel never falls out of that end and I can easily pull the handle out. the other end to change the TP occupation. The storage space holds about 3 single-ply main rolls. The smaller basket can easily stand on a table or countertop and only holds a couple of washcloths or facial tissues. The price for this set of 2 was about the same as a basket elsewhere. I removed the star only because the handles need to be attached, whether used as a TP holder or as a main basket.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
