Why you’ll love it
Organisation shouldn’t require a toolbox, a landlord’s permission, or a weekend of measuring and drilling. This basket installs in seconds: place it on a compatible metal surface and it locks on firmly—no wobble, no sliding. The mesh body lets you see what’s inside at a glance and allows airflow so items stay dry. When your needs change, simply lift and reposition. That flexibility turns dead space—like the side of a fridge or the face of a filing cabinet—into prime storage, helping you keep everyday bits in one easy-to-reach place.
How it works
A wide-format magnetic backing distributes holding force evenly across the surface, so the basket sits flush and secure. The rigid top rail keeps the opening square for easy access, while the wire mesh walls provide strength without bulk. Because the mesh is see-through, you can store mixed items together and still pick the right thing at a glance—no rummaging, no forgotten packets at the back of a shelf. It’s the simple, modular way to add “shelves” wherever you have metal.

Design details that make a difference
- Reinforced rim: a firm top rail keeps the opening square for smooth one-hand access.

- Clean silhouette: neutral finish works across home, office, and classroom aesthetics.
Set-up guide (best results in 60 seconds)
- Choose a surface: fridges, freezers, metal doors, lockers, filing cabinets, and magnetic whiteboards all work well.
- Wipe once: clean dust and grease—the magnet grips best on a dry, smooth surface.
- Place & press: align the basket, then press firmly across the top edge to seat the magnet.
- Load smartly: heavier items to the back/base, lighter items up front for visibility.
- Reposition anytime: lift from the sides to move; avoid dragging across delicate finishes.
Capacity & sensible loading
The basket is designed for everyday essentials—think stationery, remotes, spice jars, snack bars, notepads, and small bottles. For heavier items (e.g., full glass spice jars), load evenly and ensure the underlying metal is flat and thick enough for a strong magnetic hold. As a quick rule, if the surface attracts a standard fridge magnet firmly, this basket will seat well when loaded sensibly.
Small systems that keep clutter away
- “Daily dock” basket: keys, wallet, work pass—everything you need before you leave.
- Board companion: pens and eraser live with the whiteboard, not in a drawer.
- Snack zone: portion snacks into view so they’re eaten in order and not forgotten.
- Mail flow: one basket for “in”, another for “to action”, a third for “to file”.
- Homework hub: pencils, rulers, sticky notes, and a timer in a single, visible place.
Visible storage reduces friction. When everyone knows where things live, tidying takes seconds and “Where did I put that” moments disappear.
Care & cleaning
- Quick wipe: dust with a dry cloth or soft brush. For deeper cleans, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry.
- Protect finishes: if the surface is easily marked, lift to reposition rather than sliding.
- Humidity: in kitchens or laundry rooms, occasional wipe-downs keep the mesh fresh.
The durable coating resists everyday scuffs; treat it like any quality metal accessory and it will stay presentable for years.
Troubleshooting
- Basket slips: the surface may be curved, textured, or not ferromagnetic. Move to a flatter, thicker metal area and reduce heavy loads.
- Weak hold on the fridge door: try the side of the fridge (often thicker steel) or a lower panel for better leverage.
- Surface marks: rare, but if you’re cautious, place a thin clear film or magnetic pad behind the plate, then seat the basket firmly.
- Rattling contents: add a slim organiser pot or card divider inside the basket to separate items.

Frequently asked questions
How strong are the magnets
Very strong for everyday use. On a flat, ferromagnetic surface, the basket stays put under typical stationery, spice jars, remotes, and similar items. For best results, load evenly and avoid overhanging heavy items on the front edge.
Will it scratch my fridge
The magnetic backing sits flush and is designed to be surface-friendly. To be extra careful, lift to reposition rather than sliding, especially on premium finishes.
Can I move it easily
Yes. Grip from both sides and lift to release the magnet, then reattach wherever you like. It’s ideal for renters and shared spaces.
Does it work on all surfaces
It attaches to metallic, ferromagnetic surfaces such as fridges, freezers, lockers, filing cabinets, and magnetic whiteboards. It won’t stick to glass, wood, aluminium, or plastic.
Is the mesh safe for kitchens
Yes. The breathable design is useful for storing sealed sachets, spice jars, clips, and timers. Avoid placing unprotected sharp blades inside.
What about heavy glass jars
The basket is sturdy, but the hold depends on your underlying metal. Test with one jar first; if the surface is thin or curved, keep heavier items to a minimum or store them lower on the door for stability.
Can I use it in a workshop or shed
Absolutely. It’s great for hex keys, tape, pencils, and small parts on tool chests and metal shelving.
