I love the Bolga baskets because they are beautiful, quality, functional works of art. The saturated colors are amazing. This may sound crazy, but when I opened the box, the basket was breathtaking! It, and the fan, are incredibly bright and beautiful. It was like Christmas! Anyway, I am so happy with my purchase, and I will be buying from you again...especially when I need a gift for myself! Thank you so much! Terry
The Bolga market basket I ordered was just delivered and it is more stunning than the picture on your website. Your free shipping played a large part in my decision to purchase one and I will be ordering more to give as gifts. Roberta
