Overview
A summer table or a collector's shelf is where this low profile Longaberger basket belongs. A natural weave carries red and blue trim, and a plaid liner and a three way divided protector come with it.
The patriotic trim and country liner make it a seasonal decor piece as much as a serving basket. With no handle and a small capacity, it cannot carry a picnic across a park.
Who it's for
Collectors and summer hosts who want a festive basket for snacks, napkins or display will enjoy it. Families packing lunch for a trip need a larger handled basket.
Pros and cons
- Woven maple splints
- Plaid cotton liner included
- Divided plastic protector
- Red and blue trim
- Not meant for carrying heavy loads
Performance notes
The protector holds food away from the splints and liner, and its three sections separate items. A natural weave allows air around contents but is not sealed. The basket is light, so stability depends on the surface.
