This picnic set is BEAUTIFUL in person. Very charming. However, the interior of the basket is not very well-designed from an efficiency/logistics perspective. Storing the four plastic cups in their intended elastic loops along the bottom takes up a large portion of the available space in the basket. Further, the remaining space in the layer even with the cups is long and narrow, making it difficult to use.Further, the plates are stoneware (and therefore, breakable). But unlike other available baskets, there is not a clearly-designated place to secure them in the basket. This serms like an odd oversight, considering the designated storage spaces for every other item that comes with the set.The detachable charcuterie board lid with the cup holder cutouts is brilliant, though, and in my opinion makes up for these deficiencies. Ultimately, I have decided to carry the utensils separately or to plan picnics that don’t require utensils/plates, to maximize storage space and get the most use out of the picturesque basket.
