Saito Wastebasket

While the walnut veneer is durable, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry waste like paper, office supplies, or bedroom refuse; avoid using it for wet trash or items that might leak.

The small version stands at 12 inches high, making it ideal for tucking under a desk or beside a nightstand. The tall version, at 15.5 inches, offers a more substantial presence and is better suited for open floor spaces where you want the design to be more visible.

Because the interior is finished wood, using a liner is recommended if you plan to dispose of anything that could scratch or stain the surface. However, many owners prefer to use it without a liner for a cleaner, more sculptural look when disposing of only dry paper waste.

Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you need a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one, as you should avoid letting moisture sit on the wood surface.

No, because the wastebasket is crafted from natural wood, every piece features a unique grain pattern. You can expect slight variations in color and texture, which is part of the inherent beauty of the material.
