Product Features:
Story Behind the Art:
Nana was born to a family of nine children in the town of Kumasi in Ghana, West Africa. His parents divorced when he was only 8 years old and Nana became so rebellious that his mother sent him to live with his father in Tamale (in the Northern region of Ghana) when Nana was 12 years old. It was there that he developed an interest in art. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and started training with a master carver in Tamale. In 2000 Nana began selling his products through Worldstock. Nana is now married with three children and lives in Accra, Ghana. He is now a master carver with his own shop and 10 employees.

3 straw handmade baskets with handles, lovely
Boy was I happy when I opened the box of baskets! These lovely handmade baskets were all different patterns and colorful too, which is exactly what I wanted. I had seen these baskets at a fiber fair selling for $35 each and was happy to see that I could purchase 3 baskets for less, which allows me to give away a basket as a gift. They will come in useful for my yarn and knitting to carry to a retreat or weekly group event. They shaped easily also. I just sprinkled them with water, baskets only avoiding the handles and worked the body a bit, they dried firm and nicely shapen, thanks Overstock for providing a great product reasonably priced. At first I found them on yoru site but they were out of stock, I signed up for the reminder email when restocked and within a week or so was notified they were available and ordered them, thanks so much, I am very happy with my purchase, my friends also commented on how nice they are and I shared with them they came from Overstock!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes the color variations were similar to the advertising picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. consistent and very nicely made and proportionate
- How accurate was the sizing? ample sizing as described, two very large size baskets and one slightly smaller

Wonderful
These ghanian baskets are beautifully constructed with beautiful colors and a durable leather wrapped handle. They arrived on time and in great shape. NOTE: during shipping the baskets can arrive slightly smushed down. This is not a problem. Simply wet them and let them dry and they spring back to their original shape. I plan to buy more of these baskets as gifts for friends.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? The colors are great. Expect a variety. I did not receive a green one like in the display pic. These baskets were primarily red, navy, golden brown, light brown. Enough of a color mix to essentially be neutral for most decor.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent
- How accurate was the sizing? good

Super Happy
Like many, I have been coveting these baskets at my local healthfood market for years. They charge almost the same price for one basket that Overstock charges for 3! I finally came looking for them here as I really wanted to give one to a friend as a wedding gift and one to my mother for her birthday. I was so pleased to find them here for a steal! They did come smooshed into a box, but the beauty of these baskets is their ability to be molded into whatever shape you need them to be. I am tickled pink to have three beautiful (and all large) baskets- two to give away and one to keep!

WOW!! These are BIG baskets and they are absolutely gorgeous!They are bigger and more attractive than I had invisioned. They did require some hand shaping due to the shipping method, but just dampen them and mold them as you like.

I ordered two sets of the Tribal Baskets. They are wonderful! Each one is different (none are green). I already had one Tribal Basket purchased elsewhere and these are just the same. Excellent quality, designs, size, etc.

Ghana baskets
My wife ordered these baskets to give away as gifts, but once she received them, she kept them all! The colors were bright and beautiful. They were packed tight, but once separated, watered down and reshaped, they look great! Our 5 year old granddaughter likes to fill them with things and walk around the house pretending to "shop"! We would highly recommend them and should actually order another set. The price for all three was a bargin!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes, bright and beautiful
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Baskets are very sturdy, very well made.
- How accurate was the sizing? actually larger than I expected..

Set of 3 Straw Traditional Tribal Baskets (Ghana)
These gorgeous baskets were an impulse buy. I'm so glad I chose them! They're beautifully constructed, with a thousand different uses. If you want a bit of an ethnic flair for your home, these baskets are perfect. I love them! The colors are vibrant and the price is perfect. Thank you Overstock.com! I haven't made a mistake yet. Everything I've ordered from you has been perfect in every way.

Appreciation of handmade quality
The baskets are beautiful and vibrant colors feel very southwestern. The leather handle will make the carrying of the baskets easier and longer wearing. Since I use these baskets daily to deliver breakfast to my B and B, they make a lovely presentation with baked goods and fruit. Thank you Ghana for making these treasures!

Exceptional quality, extreme durability
I use the four I own daily. I am known as the basket lady. Great to carry crafts, food, purchases, books etc... If they lose their shape, stick them in a bathtub of water and reshape as they dry! I just need more, can't live without them. I should give some as gifts, but I am greedy in the way everyone envies them, and no one I have ever met owns one!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? multicolored all patterns colors are great
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Mine are over 10 years old. They do fade if left in sunlight too long. Mine are still in excellent condition

Beautiful and sturdy
The baskets have gotten good reviews because they are beautiful and interesting. The colors vary, but mine were green, fuschia, and yellow, and green and yellow, and one that has all three colors plus a little red and purple. The fuschia is a little much, but because the baskets are world craft fare, it works. It's African village variety at a big box store price.
