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
Thank you for shipping my order so quickly. The workmanship on the basket is beautiful and the colors are just as pictured on your site. I'll be back for more. Bhavana
