It's a beautiful basket, made of soft woven grass -- it's flexible and soft, not rigid and scratchy like wicker might be. The foam pad in the bottom is about 1-1/2 inches thick and is firm, so no worries about suffocation. And it's perfect for carrying my sleeping son from one floor to another without waking him.

The literature that comes with the basket says it's ok to use for children weighing up to 20 pounds; I get the feeling that my little boy will be too long for the basket before he reaches 20 pounds, but that's ok. The important thing for me was to have a way to move him from floor-to-floor while he was nursing every 3 hours. The basket is a little smaller than a standard bassinet; I've been using bassinet sheets on it and just pulling the extra fabric under the pad. Works like a charm.

I'd reccommend this to anyone who is considering a bassinet...especially if space is an issue or if you have a multi-floor house!

1) Not only Beautiful, but Versatile as Well!!!
When shopping for my new grandson, this beautiful basket immediately took my eye and I had to purchase it. I continued shopping-filling it with his lst Teddy Bear and other items. Looking at it I could not only see a newborn nestled amongst the eyelets, but the opportunities of future use. For now this basket will serve as a miniature bassinett when he visits and later may be utilized to hold all of his special toys, books and keepsakes. As he outgrows it- I can see it utilized in a number of ways...plants, flowers, books and even maybe the cat.
