I’ve been buying these baskets for years now and have a large, wonderful collection. These baskets and canisters are truly magnificent and of more and more excellent, colorful and sophisticated design. They add immensely to any home, whether on the floor, a table, a shelf or on the wall. Having been to these regions In Africa, I can attest to the superb quality of Baskets of Africa. And to the importance of the undertaking this company is doing. Kudos. Nora
