Picnic at Ascot Buckingham Basket for 4 w/Blkt & Coffee

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend but only IF the item retailed closer to $75 . The basket configuration is intuitive and the interior space is great. It will hold plenty of food and all the utensils we need for a nice family picnic. However, beyond the basket itself, I question whether the price is justified. The utensils are about a half step above plastic ware and I'm not sure I'd trust running them through a dishwasher. Unlike the picture, the napkins do not match the plates, though they do match the interior of the basket. Unfortunately, the interior of the basket is almost a burlap brown color which is not a very appealing combination with the blue plates. Both the cooler and the blanket are pretty unextraordinary as well, also matching the burlap interior. Overall, it's not a bad product. My low rating stems from the value. Had I known, I could have easily purchased a basket from almost anywhere and then bought the plates, utensils, napkins, blanket, and cooler separately. It likely would have saved me a lot of money, allowed me to improve the quality of the accessories, and given me the opportunity to match those items in a more desirable pattern and color.
