The Dot Basket is so versitle.
At first I didn't think that I received the correct item when I opened the package because the basket is flat. I was a little scared to snap the plastic pieces to form the sides into place, but after it was done it was no big deal. Then I was scared that the bag would always look wrinkled, it smoothed out and I never thought about it again. The basket is great to throw in things that you need to take. The basket can hold A LOT of items. I wonder how the handle can hold all of the books, items that I throw in (but it doesn't even look like it is bending) The only thing I dislike is that other people can see in the basket. (Maybe there could be a flap that you could unzip over the top if you didn't want others to see inside - just an idea). I like the dark color because I place the basket on the floor, chairs, car floot,etc. so I don't want it to look like it is dirty. My basket I have carried to work almost every day and it still looks brand new.

Great basket!
Looks even nicer in person. It's roomy and assembles fairly easily. Great for the farmer's market. The padded handle protects hand or arm (I like to carry mine over my arm). The zippered inner pocket is perfect for your money & keys. And....it's really cute!! I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Very Nice
I purchased this product to transport business items back and forth. They are constructed extremely well and hold much more than you'd think. Very pleased, I would purchase more in the future and highly recommend them.

I love my basket
I love my basket. I use it to take my smaller packages to the post office, as well as shop at the grocery store. Presently my basket is full of things to do with moving since that is what I am doing. my new lease, tape measure, tools, catalogs, receipts, and anything I need to take back and forth. I probably will have to get a second basket. I have gotten a ton of compliments on it. Also, it is REALLY durable. I had it FULL of soup cans during this move and I had NO fear of damaging the basket at all. It had to weigh at lease 25 lbs! It is heavy duty. You will not be disappointed at all, it is worth every penny.

I was impressed with the quality of the item I received. I love it and it has been very useful. The material is sturdy and the folding handle is very comvenient. The only bad thing is that I snapped of on of the things at the top of the stiffing rib when I was trying to get it in place. But the market basket funcions with the broken one. I will purchase from you again.

I love my market basket!
I love my market basket! I get many compliments and people asking me 'where can I get one?' I like that the polka dots are a bit 'different' than a solid color basket.
