Gift Basket Supplies

We were using a moses basket in this stand instead of a bassinet in the bedroom when our daughter was a newborn. After seven weeks of just using the product at night, we woke up in the middle of the night to find that the cross beam connecting the two rockers had broken and the basket was angled down, precariously close to falling to the ground. Thankfully we got our daughter out before it broke the rest of the way, but it could have been much worse. I definitely do not recommend this product!

I bought this last minute right before my baby arrived - it ended up being that up to the last WEEK of my due date we had EVERYTHING but the crib/basket, so I did not do much research and bought what I thought was a good product. The basket itself is OK but the stand is another story. The plastic band cracked while assembling the item. A few weeks later the screws were coming loose (coming out of the wood) and the whole thing became shaky. This is not to mention that the rocking motion was jagged and uneven - you can only rock it from edge to the middle but not from edge to edge of the rounded feet. I used the item for about 3 months, then it stood without for about 6 months, then I gave it to a friend for her newborn. I picked it up 3 months later and tried to disassemble it to fit in my car, and the whole damn thing just fell apart! It's in the trash now, so are my hopes to give it to someone else or resell it. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! You are better off finding another inexpensive solution.

Moses basket stand is not well made. There is a plastic border that surrounds the basket. The border cracked in 2 places during assembly. This stand is also very difficult to assemble. Four of the 8 support screws will not screw in all the way. Attempting to tighten them only strips the screws. I would not recommend this basket stand.

This was just what I was looking. Unfortunately it arrived to late to use in the display I was creating for work. The original shipping date estimate was Sept 28 and arriving Oct 2 which is when I needed it. However, it did not ship until Oct 2 and arrived Oct 9 which was to late to use for my display. I am enjoying it at home as part of a display and tribute to my dad.

This book is done very well. Many large color photographys,detailed illustrations of weave types. Would have liked to have seen more color photographys though. Overall a good guality book on baskets.

Completely indispensable text for the weaver, curator, researcher, student, collector or just plain curious. Not a theoretical text; rather, the intent is to enable the reader to identify any basketry work produced by Native North Americans from the Arctic to the Southeast. This book has scores of photos, including a preliminary section where baskets from each geographical region are reproduced in good color photos. Good but simple overview of the history of Native basketry, *great* overview of techniques with schematic drawings. Also has a thorough bibliography. A must-have reference book for any Native American or art-focused library.

I first learned of this book from a basket trader in Tucson who was explaining why I could never find any Pima baskets that matched a photograph in a booklet I had. He suspected the photographer used a brown filter to enhance the appearance. He pulled out a copy of "Indian Baskets" to show me the difference and told me if I was serious about baskets I needed to get this book. In it, I found along with beautiful photographs large enough to see in detail of many tribes' baskets: an encyclopedia of information including a list of tribes that still made baskets with descriptions of the designs each uses, detailed drawings and descriptions of the many different stitches used in baskets, a chart that can be used to find which tribes make baskets with your favorite stitches, and even a list of prices for baskets sold a few years ago. It was the book I longed to find on this topic. The one obvious omission was a list of sites where tribes sell baskets today, but fortunately that information is readily available from other sources.

Ms. Schlick is the uncontested expert on native American basketry of the Columbia Plateau (eastern Washington and Oregon) and she knows and has the admiration of many--perhaps all--of the current weavers. Her book finally puts a face and name on the creators of the baskets and sees them as individual artists. I can't believe this book has been allowed to go out of print--get it while you can.
