## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect daily carry basket
*by A***E on April 21, 2025*

I have known about and seen these Ghana baskets for decades but never bought one. This is my first one and I am not disappointed.It came flattened via usps. Once I submerged it in water I could immediately shape it. It was easy to shape.The one sent to me is a very colorful one even though I wished for a muted one because I wear Edwardian and late Victorian inspired outfits. The garish colors clash with my mostly muted color palette.Size is perfect for me because I don’t bring a lot in my daily carry (wallet, phone, handkerchief, and maybe a pair of sunglasses). If I do bring more, I’d rather use my canvas tote to save the weight. I like small size because it fits comfortably in the crook of my arm. I wrap the handle with a Twilly to protect the leather.Size is 6” dia bottom, 8” dia opening brim, and 6” basket height.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product at good price
*by J***. on June 17, 2025*

Got this for my wife for her to get eggs from our chickens. She really likes it and works as intended. Quality is good for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect organizer by my bed
*by R***R on April 14, 2025*

I love this little basket. It’s the perfect size to sit beside my bed on the floor. I filled it with all of my nightly moisturizers, floss, etc.My nightstand was getting too cluttered. This is perfect. I lucked out and got good colors too. No pink! 😂
