TIPS FOR POTENTIAL BUYERS: You can either mount it or place it on the counter, depending on your preference and space. Ensure you have a suitable spot to place the basket securely. It’s perfect for organizing fruits and vegetables, but consider the fixed basket size when planning what to store. Regularly check the baskets to ensure they remain secure with the weight of the items. Using a liner in the baskets can help keep it clean and prevent smaller items from falling through. 9. EXTRA ANECDOTES: We’ve used this basket not just for fruits and vegetables but also for holding snacks and even kitchen towels. It’s become a multi-purpose storage solution in our home. During the holidays, we even decorated it with small lights and festive items, and it added a lovely touch to our kitchen decor.

Very well made and sturdy. Easy assembly just 30 seconds! Much thicker and solid that I thought it would be. It's is also stylish I fit a whole 10lbs potato's in mine. Would be great for anything you like to put in the baskets. I may be getting another one soon this thing is awesome!

It was exactly what I needed. I wanted my oranges separated from my garlic and ginger. I also wanted something that would not develop mold like a wicker basket. It’s just the right size for my counter and for the amount of fruit I purchase. It was easy to set up highly recommend.

I got this during Prime Day for $12. It’s cute, seems sturdy, a bit smaller than expected and the baskets swing more than I’d like, but for $12 I’m happy. It now sells for $40. I would not be happy if I’d paid that much.

These things hold a good deal of food. They’re solidly built and stable. Given the basket design I’d advise against trying to store things that are small enough to slip through the roughly 1.5” (ish) squares between the wires. But for apples, bananas, onions, garlic (whole heads), snack bags, and so on, definitely a good deal. 5 stars, may buy another even.

Perfect size for my counter to keep my fruits and vegetables. The way that it is stacked doesn’t stick out too far and take up awkward space.

Love this thing (General Store)! It's a great size - can sit on the counter without taking up TOO much counter space, but it has ample storage capacity. I recently signed up for a produce delivery service and was inundated with an avalanche of avocados and apples all over my counters. This is the perfect solution! Stores everything nicely and ertically, allows circulation so the fruit doesn't go bad, and the base doesn't take up too much counter space - I can still use that area for meal prep. (That white thing in the photo is the only ruler in the house I could find - has the presidents on one side and the beginning of Declaration on the other! :D ) Little assembly required - and it comes with the two screws and Allen wrench you need so you don't have to run to the toolbox to assemble. A tiny bit of the black paint was chipped off when it arrived, but I don't care. I'm keeping it and you can hardly notice.

Shorter than I thought but is as described and nice. Works well for onions and potatoes.

I'm not sure why all the negative reviews. I am so impressed with this hanging counter fruit basket. The sturdiness, hight the easy essemble less than 3 minutes open put together N functional. The hooks are impossible to knock baskets off the bracket unless your throwing it around. My painted finish is perfect.. Very satisfied customer. Oh an my delivery is due tomorrow for the free standing floor model with the 3 baskets. I have faith I will be just as satisfied with that purchase as well.

I love that it doesnt take up much bench space in my small kitchen but that its stylish and my fruit fits in nicely

Es bonito y de buena calidad pero pequeño

Es muy decorativo se ve lindo en la cocina lo unico es que son mas pequeños de lo que se ven y las aberturas de las canastas son muy amplias entonces algunas frutas se salen

Super easy to put together. Bought it for my brother who just got a new place. He didn’t want anything too bulky or takes up counter space - this item does the trick. It holds quite a lot of fruits/vegetables and feels quite sturdy. Great product!
