Custom Projects

Joanna has designed and woven many custom-sized storage baskets for shelving units, hutches and benches. She has made triangular baskets for cabinet makers and under-bed storage baskets for day-beds. She has woven hot air balloon baskets for theme park displays and intricate flower girl baskets for weddings. She has created carrying baskets for a personal chef’s catering service and one-of-a-kind baby baskets for photographers.

So if you find yourself in need of a particular style, shape, or size basket but do not see a similar one on our website, start a request with the Jo & Co. custom estimator.

We will get back to you and possibly design something new to fit your exact specifications. Joanna loves new ideas and challenges.

Requesting a Custom Storage Basket

When contacting us about arranging a custom order, read through the following tips and then start your request with the Jo & Co. custom estimator.

• The estimator prices each piece from the dimensions you enter and holds you to quarter-inch increments, so nothing gets lost in transcription.
• Cost is calculated according to size.
• Calculate the size of the baskets you desire by following the instructions below:
• Record the dimensions of the cubby or shelf where the basket will go, then subtract ½” from each side, ½” from the top, and ½” from the front-to-back measurements to allow wiggle room for the basket to slide in and out of the space. 
• Please be careful to submit the sizes of the baskets you'd like, not the size of the spaces the baskets will fill.
• Customary measurements are as follows:
  
• Nearly all storage baskets are constructed on a wooden base — it keeps the basket square and holds its shape under load. The occasional piece doesn’t call for one; we determine that when we create the pattern for your order.
• Handle holes can be woven into the basket based on your preference. You’ll choose which sides (the width sides or the depth sides) in the estimator.
• Visit our Colors & Finishes page to see the available stain options.
• Customized stain options are available at additional charge. Please visit the Minwax Stain Color Guide website to choose from the wood finish or water-based stain options, then name the one you want in the estimator’s project notes and we’ll quote it. 
• We dry each custom basket in a wooden frame to ensure the correct shape and size of the piece.
• The drying time varies depending on humidity and stain choice. Most orders take at least 4-5 days after staining to dry enough to ship.
• Shipping costs are calculated according to each piece/order. Some larger pieces (girth + length that exceeds 84 inches) usually cost a minimum of $30.00 each to ship. That is exactly what the Post Office charges us.
• Additional design features are available for discussion. Feel free to present your ideas, and we’ll work together to achieve your customized request.
• Please visit our basket blog for more pictures and examples of custom work, and thank you for your interest.
