Alessi Stainless Steel Wire Fruit Basket - 18/10 Polished Metal Centerpiece for Dining Table Decor, Kitchen Fruit Display, and Home Organization

The basket looks exactly like pictured. With its 9.5" diameter and 3.5" high, it can hold a dozen of apples and/or oranges easily. If you can line it with towel or paper towel and use it as a bread basket, or use it any way you'd like.Like other Alessi's products, it has a sturdy construction and feels like a high-quality basket (there's no indication on the basket or its box that shows where it's made). Designed by Ufficio Tecnico Alessi in 1948, it's truly a classic. Well, it'd better have the quality and the looks since the price ain't no pocket change.As much as I like Alessi's products, I still think they're overpriced. I justified to myself that I really like this particular design, but I would not fill my home with Alessi's products.Wonderful piece. Timeless and just pretty.This is so beautifully designed. I love this bowl and use it to keep all sorts of things from fruit, nuts to even shells.War als Weihnachtsgeschenk gedacht und kam dank Amazon auch rechtzeitig an. Wer Alessi mag, für den ist dieser Korb ein absolutes Muss. Leider wurde der Original-Alessi-Karton ohne zusätzliche Verpackung mit dem Paketaufkleber versehen wurde, was das Geschenk im Karton etwas schmälerte.Ein langjähriger Wunsch meiner Frau ging zu Weihnachten in Erfüllung, der Korb steht jetzt immer auf auf dem Tisch, mit Obst, oder Brot. Zeitlos schön, paßt in jede Umgebung. Hält (hoffentlich) ewig, und das darf er auch für den Preis. Ein Stück Nachhaltigkeit eben, wenn man so will.Non avevo immaginato quando fosse piccolo questo cestino ( ha le dimensioni di una ciotolina) per cui l’ho reso e preso più grande... per il resto ottimo prodotto, di design ??I prodotti di Alessi sono noti per il design e la funzionalità. Questo cestino rappresenta un classico di questa linea. È bello, utile e di qualità
