Blow Up Citrus Basket

This basket is shallower than I expected from the photos (about four inches deep), which I actually like. This makes it an excellent fruit bowl, as it forces the fruit to be spread out instead of sitting in tall piles and bruising what's underneath. It also doesn't require as much fruit to fill as I expected, allowing the fruit to be eaten and refilled often rather than just adding to the top pieces while the bottom spoils. The open structure of the bowl prevents moisture from being trapped, which helps prevent the fruit from rotting before it can be eaten. It's welded together nicely, and is a great size for a kitchen island or coffee table. It looks gorgeous and really highlights the color of the fruit it holds. Pricey, but worth it!

Alessi Blow Up Basket is just perfect for our coffee table. It is a piece of art work as well as practical to hold fruit and/or you can place a napkin in it and serve snacks. It goes well with the more modern euro type of furniture. A bit expensive for what it is (cut up metal sticks weld together like the old grocery carts but shinier and shaped somewhat like a bird's nest) but it matched a lamp and another piece of artwork that we have in our home so we decided to spend the money on it to tie in all the pieces of artwork.

I wanted this for years and finally got it. It holds fruit on our counter. It gives good air circulation and looks great. Very happy I finally hit the "place order" button.

I like the style and the finish, also it is large enough

The Alesi Blow Up Basket is a unique and artistic basket design which can be useful as well. We like the basket and plan to use it as a fruit basket or a bread basket with a napkin lining. I am disappointed in some of the workmanship with respect to inconsistency among some the welds used to hold the metal "sticks" together. Fortunately, this problem only is visable upon inspection and generally would not be noticed. However, since the basket is a work of art, it is likely to attract more than a casual glance from some people, and therefore, the weld inconsistancy causes me to rate the product below 5 stars.

Saw this product in a store window in Belgium a few years ago and in London last year but didn't want to bother lugging it back to the US. Hadn't been able to find it at US stores because it was discontinued. Amazon to the rescue! Less expensive, too!

Great quality it’s not heavy but it’s good finish

I got the wrong item, not the one in the photo at all!!

Qualité et style Alessi pour un prix intéressant

Fantastico porta agrumi dal design davvero accattivante, Alessi non sbaglia un colpo!

Tiene un diseño genial si tienes una casa moderna y de diseño. Es un modelo súper actual y muy bien acabado. Sin duda vale lo que cuesta
