Good but not great
4/5

As a gift, I purchased this. It would have been nice to see a better overall quality given this price point. There are several spots on this item where wood splinters have been left behind by the mesh wire. There is a lot of glue involved. This oozes out and becomes visible, which negatively impacts the clean appearance of the product. When shipped, it seems that the glue on the wire mesh and packing material melted when it got hot. I aired this out for a week now, and I still smell it, and the wire mesh still sticks! The wire mesh has a noticeable ding. It does not look horrible, but it catches your The rounded ends of sanded wood are not smooth because they are not rounded. This is not a gift The quality of giving. Here's today's update A seller I had the pleasure of working with provided excellent customer service. The customer service representative has been very prompt in his response and is trying to contact the manufacturer as well to help me resolve a When you buy this product from this seller, I highly recommend you work with them.

It looks like this garden hod is of good quality, but shop around for a better deal
3/5

I would use the basket for heavy items since the bottom is firm. There is one thing that makes me furious this hard drive isn't cheap, and it's a multimedia drive. Considering you are paying over $50 for a drive, you would expect it to be perfect. Surely nothing less would be acceptable? As you can see, the hod I received has a gouge measuring two to three inches Having it in plain sight is easy. This is something you will not want to miss. There is nothing real in what I am reading and I cannot believe that this product is selling well to customers. As someone who works very hard for their money, it took a lot of decision making to buy this hat as a gift. The mistake that was made was huge. Consider shopping elsewhere for a better quality hard drive instead of wasting your hard-earned money. In my opinion, this one failed to hit the target. It is noteworthy that the gouge on the top of the hod is not from shipping, but rather from shoddy and careless construction on the part of the manufacturer. As you can see in my photo, the gouge appears a lot worse than it does in real life. Rather than spending your hard earned money on a hod, buy another one from a more trusted business. I failed miserably on this one. My experience with the purchase was very disappointing.

The former is useful while the latter is beautiful
4/5

As an avid gardener, I purchased this product for my own use. I found it to be very well made and sturdy. The bag is comfortable to carry and the depth is great for most vegetables, but not so deep that you have to stack the items higher than necessary. There's no way to fit my large broccoli or cabbage into it, but I don't view that as a major con. My favorite part of having a garden house is the ability to wash vegetables outside and bring them into the house. After using it for about three months now, I can easily rinse it clean and it is still in great shape.

Exactly what I was looking for! Load it up and you can see all of the dirt come out! To add to my gardening needs, this was the perfect item
5/5

In this way, I can get all the fruit/vegetables from my backyard in one day and put them in a container that lets dirt fall out while I work, so the dirt can be rinsed away all at once. Having such a light weight makes it great and the natural appearance is great.

An inside gouge is visible on the basket
3/5

The quality is poor. A few of the inside pieces of hardwood were chipped when I ordered it. On the second shot, the same spot can be seen. This is this company's way of putting a handle on the handle. A chipped piece of wood is always found on the floor.

I like the look and feel of it, as well as its light weight
5/5

The basket is really cute. As for the handle, I think it looks like maple, and I would consider making one myself for my wife, but I bought this one at what I thought was a very reasonable price. The end looks like pine, and I would consider it a good deal. A brad nail is placed on each end of the handle and the handle is simply glued into the hole in the ends. My guess is that it could be repaired in the event of it coming loose or breaking. It has a wire mesh bottom that has been coated so that it feels good to rinse off in. All in all, the basket is very sturdy and lightweight.

A heavy-duty job
5/5

This was a gift I bought for my wife for Christmas. This is a well-made, heavy-duty item. The wire cage with its non-slip surface is particularly appealing to me A rust coating is applied. Pick your vegies from the garden, place them in the basket, and then spray them in the carrier with water. Nothing well made is cheap, but then again nothing by the best is either.

It's a great garden hoop
5/5

It's sturdy and long lasting. My tomato hod is incredibly sturdy, and makes bringing the tomatoes into the house so much more straightforward. Using this product I could wash, carry, and keep (for a short while) my veggies, and had no issues with it whatsoever. It is definitely worth the.
