I registered for this basket because I live in a 3-story townhouse and thought that having a "portable" bed for my baby would be handy. I was right - and this basket definitely fits the bill.

It's a beautiful basket, made of soft woven grass -- it's flexible and soft, not rigid and scratchy like wicker might be. The foam pad in the bottom is about 1-1/2 inches thick and is firm, so no worries about suffocation. And it's perfect for carrying my sleeping son from one floor to another without waking him.

The literature that comes with the basket says it's ok to use for children weighing up to 20 pounds; I get the feeling that my little boy will be too long for the basket before he reaches 20 pounds, but that's ok. The important thing for me was to have a way to move him from floor-to-floor while he was nursing every 3 hours. The basket is a little smaller than a standard bassinet; I've been using bassinet sheets on it and just pulling the extra fabric under the pad. Works like a charm.

I'd reccommend this to anyone who is considering a bassinet...especially if space is an issue or if you have a multi-floor house!

One was given to us as a gift and at first I wasn't excited about it. When my son first came home it wasn't much fun getting up to check on him every ten minutes when he was asleep in his crib (he slept A LOT during his first couple months). So I remembered this and dug it out. I could put him in this and carry him anywhere in the house without waking him. I could cook while keeping an eye on him, sit on the couch and not have to get up when he cried, ect. Not to mention it's very portable so you can take it with you when visiting family for a nice safe place for baby to nap. I was very dissapointed when he outgrew it.

When shopping for my new grandson, this beautiful basket immediately took my eye and I had to purchase it. I continued shopping-filling it with his lst Teddy Bear and other items. Looking at it I could not only see a newborn nestled amongst the eyelets, but the opportunities of future use. For now this basket will serve as a miniature bassinett when he visits and later may be utilized to hold all of his special toys, books and keepsakes. As he outgrows it- I can see it utilized in a number of ways...plants, flowers, books and even maybe the cat.

This is a beautiful storage bin! The size is great and the price wasnt too bad, but for it to be completely functional, it really needs a better way to pick it up.. handles, or an area cut out for your fingers. I'm already somewhat concerned about grabbing it in the same places all the time, as it obviously can't be washed.
By the way, I'm seeing alot of reviews on here from people using this as a makeshift bassinet. Either the wrong reviews are posted here for a different product, or people think this is safe. I would not use this storage tub as a means of transporting a child anywhere! Especially given the fact that the thing has no handles!

The basket is beautiful. The very thin sheet is a little difficult to get on and off. The basket itself has an odor from the material used to make it. At six weeks old, my son is out-growing it (he was born at 6lbs 12 oz). It is nice for traveling, though, and has served its purpose for me.

While this is in the "baby" section I am using it for my 10 year old daughter. It is large enough for her 18 inch doll collection and another for her bountiful collections of yarn. Her room's initial 30 second impression is clean and collected. I like the pattern of the fabric (although it is not as thick as you might expect) and the metal sturdiness of the top. It serves its purpose.

I bought this for a friend's baby shower. I decided to place all my gifts in the medium size bin, it all fit wonderfully and the colors match her nursery decor. It looked beautiful along with the other gifts, and my friend has ordered more from this website for her daughter's nursery. The construction of this bin was well made, it took a few drops from me even before I brought it to the party. No tears to the cloth bin, the package it came in was sturdy, no shipping problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this product for a child's room or nursery. Beautiful!

I bought two of these bins - one large and one medium. I love the size and colors and that the material is removable to wash in a machine, but it still holds to the frame very snug, you cant even tell its removable.

I love this bin. Deeper than I thought. They are well made and look great. Price was a bit spendy but worth it.

Good quality. Bigger than I anticipated but very nice and did its job for me. I put all my 10 month old daughters toys in them :)
