Review: Awesome basket kit for a Solid, Sturdy, Usable Basket that is Cute! - Great Kit!!! Plenty of reeds in Kit to complete the basket. Just 5 minutes of soaking the reeds was enough to work them well - I read other reviews not to go the full 20 minutes. Directions were clear with pictures step by step. We read ahead 1-2 steps to anticipate and plan for what came next. My 12 year old son made this with my assistance. I think it has a great finished look. We did not cut off the inside reeds to finish it. We tucked both the inside and outside reeds into the side of the basket for a strong basket and clean finish. It took a couple hours to make. Used kitchen scissors for cutting. Great product!!!!
Review: Nice basic basket kit - Kit is pretty nice. Wood selection is good, and matching color. Instructions are sufficient. It would have been nice if they had thrown in some clips to hold things in place, but not a huge deal.
