★★★★☆
Well made, but can bruise fruit
Pros:
- integrated banana hanger with fruit bowl
- large fruit bowl
- sturdy metal rod construction
- washable (unlike some woven baskets)
- attractive design
Cons:
- significant footprint on counter
- metal rods don't support soft fruits well - can bruise/indent ripe fruits
I previous had a woven basket for fruit and a separate banana hanger. The genius of this design is to integrate the two. It is quite sturdy; I can hang two bunches of bananas and has an attractive design. It is larger than I had anticipated so it can hold a lot of fruit. The biggest downside it that the metal rods are narrow so they can bruise and indent fruit, especially soft fruits or if you stack the basket full.
