Picnic Time 'Canasta' Picnic Basket, Grande

This classic wicker basket has a cute fabric lining and a hard top that you can use as a table. It's lightweight, durable and spacious on the inside. This gorgeous basket will be sure to elevate your next picnic.

Solid basket. Used for storing knitting supplies/materials and keeping them out of easy reach of animals and children.

The lid is loose and pretty much a waste of time but the rest of it is sturdy and good quality.

Bought this as a gift for my in-laws since they wanted a large picnic basket. It's a great size and you'd definitely be able to fit in paper goods and plenty of food for a picnic. The lid is advertised as being hard so you can use it like a table top and that's the case. However, it doesn't lock or latch closed at all, which would drive me nuts if I were the one using it. (The picnic basket I have is Longaberger, and I don't think it's made anymore, but the solid lid latches closed which feels more secure to me even though it's not like I dump it upside down!) The handles are sturdy, too. The first one I ordered had a stain on the inner lining, so just check it out when yours arrives to be sure yours is clean. Amazon is always great to work with, though, and I didn't have any trouble exchanging it before I needed to give it!

I loved the look of this basket and the size. The problem is the lid. The snaps to keep the lid attached to the basket do not stay snapped. They continuously unlatch which makes the lid difficult to stay on. With better clasps, I would give this basket a "5"
