Regularly check the baskets to ensure they remain secure with the weight of the items. Using a liner in the baskets can help keep it clean and prevent smaller items from falling through. 9.

During the holidays, we even decorated it with small lights and festive items, and it added a lovely touch to our kitchen decor.

Very well made and sturdy. Easy assembly just 30 seconds! Much thicker and solid that I thought it would be. It's is also stylish I fit a whole 10lbs potato's in mine. Would be great for anything you like to put in the baskets. I may be getting another one soon this thing is awesome!

Very sturdy I love it!

I got this during Prime Day for $12. It’s cute, seems sturdy, a bit smaller than expected and the baskets swing more than I’d like, but for $12 I’m happy. It now sells for $40. I would not be happy if I’d paid that much.

This is so cute on my counter! I use it for our farm fresh eggs and fruit!

Cute design, easy to hold my fruit or other things on your counter. It’s a nice vintage looking basket holder, but nothing tiny can go in if you were looking to use it that way. Would buy again.

It was exactly what I needed. I wanted my oranges separated from my garlic and ginger. I also wanted something that would not develop mold like a wicker basket. It’s just the right size for my counter and for the amount of fruit I purchase. It was easy to set up highly recommend.

Shorter than I thought but is as described and nice. Works well for onions and potatoes.

I'm not sure why all the negative reviews. I am so impressed with this hanging counter fruit basket. The sturdiness, hight the easy essemble less than 3 minutes open put together N functional. The hooks are impossible to knock baskets off the bracket unless your throwing it around. My painted finish is perfect.. Very satisfied customer. Oh an my delivery is due tomorrow for the free standing floor model with the 3 baskets. I have faith I will be just as satisfied with that purchase as well.

Super easy to put together. Bought it for my brother who just got a new place. He didn’t want anything too bulky or takes up counter space - this item does the trick. It holds quite a lot of fruits/vegetables and feels quite sturdy. Great product!

I love that it doesnt take up much bench space in my small kitchen but that its stylish and my fruit fits in nicely

Es bonito y de buena calidad pero pequeño

Es muy decorativo se ve lindo en la cocina lo unico es que son mas pequeños de lo que se ven y las aberturas de las canastas son muy amplias entonces algunas frutas se salen
