Beautiful and practical
Jun 26, 2022 | By Lauren Novatne
This bag is exactly as pictured, is sturdy, roomy and easy to carry. I use it as an overnight bag, a "one bag shopping" bag, and leave it where I can see it when I'm not using it as a beautiful item to see. My arms fit under the rings, so if I need both hands, they're free.

market baskets

I called to address that my two baskets that I ordered during a sale but was charged full price came bent. Since it's Serv I was not mentioning the sale reduction was not applied, but figured I would let that go. However, when I said how they arrived, the person on the phone acted like I should have known better. She said that I should have read the directions about shaping how the baskets needed re-shaping. She said the instructions were included. I informed her that I didn't receive any instruction. She then directed me to youtube; just search market baskets. I did and of course numerous links resulted. She then said for me to search re-shaping market baskets and she started telling me how easy it was. I said I hope it works; I'll see. She left me with "Of course, it'll work". I felt very insulted by her patronizing tone. I have ordered from Serv for years for gift items and fundraisers. This recent order was for Christmas shopping. I fear it may be my last. I never want to be spoken to so rudely again.
Owner Response: We apologize for this, and have contacted you directly to discuss the situation. Thank you.

Absolute Beauty

This basket doesn't disappoint. The colors are vibrant but not loud; the basket is more beautiful than the photo. It did arrive slightly misshhapen as specified in the reviews. It was an easy fix -I followed the directions-, sprayed the basket with water until damp. I placed clips ( with a piece of paper towel underneath to protect the basket) to keep the basket in alignment. It worked like a charm. Hoping to purchase another.
