This picnic basket is like purchasing a dream or a feeling. You can't look at this without thinking of an adventure or a Hallmark Movie Channel love story. This is a basket begging to write a romantic story in your life, and it's also practical and well designed. I picked this up because I want to plan a simple get away with my wife to have a picnic. You always see couples in movies with a set like this, and I desired this the moment I saw it. The reality is just as cool as the idea. This is a large set that is big enough to hold a bottle of wine, all the dishes/silverware, salt, pepper, and 2-4 glass or Tupperware containers (not included). I'll take some pictures of various containers we have for an idea of scale. This is fairly well made, but no wicker basket is "built like a tank". With moderate care, I suspect this should last for many picnics and seasons. Honestly though, this basket is quite a bit like a Jeep or RV. What you are are buying is an idea of freedom, off-roading, and adventure... just at a much more practical cost and scale. It's a beautiful set begging for you to create beautiful moments. (And, if you never actually get there... well... you should at least be able to take 2-3 beautiful pictures to create the impression on social media!)
