    I bought an identical basket to this from Dunhelm Mill about 5 years ago. It cost £5.99 then. I use it to catch all the shreddings from my garden shredder. Does a great job. Don't know if Dunhelm still do them, but worth checking it out.
  • i think it might be £39 and not £399,
    but or £15, still isnt worth it, you can get it cheaper at tg hughes

    this is a classic case of why you need to judge value based on the sale price NOT just take the apparent "saving" at face value!

  • I've sent a review and also posted it on my Facebook profile

    Paulwillhappy reviewed Willow log basket - Was £339/ €525 at Debenhams and gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
    This basket looks, feels, smells like a normal basket that should cost £25-£50. This one costs a little bit more but has magical properties and has the ability of reproducing anything you put in it. For instance Logs, Coal or even money / Gold bullion. Pays for itself within Minutes.
