The handle is strong, the walls are smooth so that if you do use it for yarn and knitting related tools, you don't have to worry about snags. I'll be buying more!! Donna
I want you to know that the basket just arrived in perfect shape. Delivery company was great as were the fellows who brought it into the house. It came through the front door without a hitch. I am ecstatic to have it. Thank you for being so conscientious and caring about the delivery. It's such a special piece in our lives. It's just so hard to believe it's here with us - amazing. Peggy
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
