Custom storage baskets, made for the space you live in.
Storage baskets for mudrooms, pantries, hutches and built-ins. We start from your measurement, draft a pattern to the quarter inch, and weave the basket to fit the opening exactly.
How it works
Send the idea.
Dimensions if you have them, a photo of the shelf if you don't. The form is below.
We talk it through.
Within a few days: questions, a quote, weave and finish options, and a date. Present any ideas you have; we would rather work it out together than have you guess.
We weave it.
Once the brief is agreed, work begins at the bench. You'll get a progress note partway through.
It comes home.
It leaves our bench and finds a new home in yours, on the shelf you measured it for.
Tell us what you have in mind.
We answer every inquiry, usually within a few business days. Prefer email? [email protected]
Most fall between $40 and $170, depending on size.
Size is the main driver. The estimator below prices your exact dimensions, and we confirm with a written quote before any work begins.
Most orders ship 3 to 4 weeks after you approve the quote.
A stained piece needs 4 to 5 days to cure before it can be wrapped, which is already counted in the ship date we give you. Larger commissions are scheduled, and we are upfront about timing.
After it arrived.
A few words from people who commissioned a piece.
“I had some very high shelves in my master bedroom closet that I wanted to fill with baskets, as the shelves are too high to access routinely and I didn’t want to leave them empty to just collect dust. I couldn’t find any baskets that would fill the spaces appropriately, so I contacted Jo & Co. Reedworks about crafting some baskets to my specific measurements. They were easy to work with and very responsive to my inquiries. I just received my baskets today, and they are absolutely perfect! They were exactly what I was looking for. The whole process was so quick, too. From the time I first reached out to delivery was just under a month. I couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you Jo & Co. Reedworks!”
“Love them, they fit perfectly, and give me wonderful (hidden) storage on what were previously bare shelves that displayed all my clutter!! These are the third sets of baskets you’ve made for me over the years, and as always they’re perfect!”
“The basket fit perfectly and the liner is great! Awesome quality all around!”
“I had a fantastic experience working with Jo and Co. customizing a woven basket for my bathroom project. Loved it!”
“I just received my baskets today. I want to say I just love love love them! They fit perfectly. I will be ordering one more”

How much does a custom basket cost?
Size is the main driver, and the estimator above prices yours exactly as you type dimensions. We'll confirm with a clear quote in the first response, so you know the price before any work begins. Shipping is figured separately once the finished piece is boxed and weighed (see below).
Can you match the dimensions of an existing piece?
Yes. That's most of what custom work is. Send measurements (or the piece itself, if you can), and we'll weave to fit.
Do you take on full built-in commissions?
Often, yes. Mudrooms with five or six pieces, full vanities, and pantry sets are all things we've made. Larger projects take longer to schedule, and we'll be upfront about timing.
What if I'm not sure what I want?
Write anyway. Send the room, send the problem, send the constraints. We'd rather think through it with you than have you guess at a brief.
How long does a finished basket take to ship?
Once it's woven, a stained piece needs at least 4–5 days to cure and dry before it can be safely wrapped and shipped. We build that into the timeline, so the ship date we give you already accounts for it.
What finishes and stains can I choose?
Twelve stains are on the estimator, from White Wash Pickling through Classic Black. If you want something outside that list, name a Minwax colour in the project notes and we'll quote it; custom stains carry a small additional charge. See all twelve on Colors & Finishes.
Will the stain match exactly?
As closely as reed allows, which is not quite the same as exactly. Reed is a natural material and no two lengths take colour the same way. Grain, density and age all change how much a piece drinks up. We stain by hand, piece by piece, to the colour you chose, and a finished basket will read as that colour; expect a little variation across the weave, and against a swatch on screen. If an exact match to something you already own matters, send us the piece or a photograph and we will tell you honestly how close we can get.
Are the baskets built on a wooden base?
Nearly all of them, yes. A wooden base keeps a storage basket square and holds its shape under load, so it's how we build them as a matter of course rather than something you have to ask for. The occasional piece doesn't call for one; we work that out when we draft your pattern.
How is shipping cost figured?
It depends on the finished size and weight, so we can't give an exact shipping cost up front. We only know it once the piece is woven, boxed, and weighed. Larger pieces (roughly anything over 84″ in combined length and girth) start around $40, and we calculate the actual cost per order once it's ready to ship. If you're nearby, you're welcome to collect it from us instead and skip shipping altogether.
