I bought it for my daughter who insisted on having a red picnic basket, and she is very satisfied with it. On the other hand, if I had known that with the money I spent we would get a basket made of that material, I would have reconsidered. It's as if they used red plastic straws to make it, while in the picture it gives the impression of being made of wood. She has had it for about 3 months and it has already started to fall apart, even though she is a child who takes care of her toys.
