Great Keepsake for America's 250

"I wanted something to remember America's 250th birthday for future years and this basket caught my eye. With its patriotic colors, this basket does not disappoint. I love the detail of "Land of the Free" and "Home of the Brave" on opposite ends of the basket along with a plate with "America 250 * 1776 - 2026" on the front center. This will be out for display each year around the July 4th holiday and will be passed down to future generations."

"Not the quality I would expect from Longaberger. I own many LB baskets and love them all but this one. . . not great. Flimsy construction, sspecially on the red, white, and blue striped area--basically the entire base of the basket."
