Stained Woodchip Picnic Basket w/Cotton Liner

I have mixed feelings about this basket--on the one hand, it's a nice size and could probably hold a small picnic lunch. Coloring is nice and the look makes me think of your quintessential basket that you see in storybooks and movies.On the other hand, like some other reviewers mentioned, it's lightweight and doesn't feel like the most sturdy. It is indeed splintery and not smooth. When the lid is on the handles will rub against it when lifted into position to carry the basket. The linen doesn't feel like it's the greatest quality.All that said, I think I will probably just use this as a stationary, decorative basket to be filled with goodies at a table. For that purpose it's great! I wouldn't use this to take with me on a picnic at the park.

This is too cute. I love how the lid can be a sturdy base for cups or food. This is a small basket; a good size for two. Easy enough to manage. Really nice addition to our picnics.

did i *need* a wooden basket like this? no. but i've always wanted a basket on hand that i could use to hold my garden veg and fruit during the peak season, that was big enough to hold a large volume but ALSO had a lid. that's the best part to me, the lid is sturdy so it'd be nice to resting light tools on, and keep the bugs and sun OUT. i love it and definitely plan to use it faithfully next spring!

This is a very cute basket, but I would definitely call it more decor than practical use. It looks nice but is thin wood that splinters easily. I plan to use it as a gift basket for a holiday sweets assortment and I am very happy with it for that purpose. The cloth lining will be a good barrier to keep things neat and professional looking without having to add a lot of fluff. The lid will be a nice way to ensure safer transport.

Looks like a nice picnic sized basket in the pictures but it's actually very small. Might hold several tightly folded wash cloths or other small items but not much else.
