Received both baskets within 48hrs in completely recyclable packaging. Highly delighted with the quality & finish of both( so much so I have been in contact with John to have another basket made). In situ within minutes and they’re absolutely perfect.

Made to order basket
This is the eighth basket I have bought from John, some I have given as presents and some I use. The quality is consistent and the pricing very fair. Why would anyone buy a basket made in China when you can get a superior product made in the U.K. The latest basket I bought is a shopping/egg basket, a neat size which I am using for storage. They were out of stock online so I messaged John and he made one and sent it within a week. Excellent service.

Sturdy Log Basket
Our purchase shipped quickly, even with the holiday, and arrived when expected. The shipping box was a bit battered from transit, but the sturdy, well-built basket inside was in perfect condition. It looks lovely in our lounge and is exactly what I wanted — at a good price. Thank you!
