While we tend to consider function over appearance when it comes to baskets, we always like the way large decorative vessels can pull a look together. These are unusual in that the flat, smooth husk of the coconut is used unwoven, but rather stitched together with rattan.







These look useless. I'm sure they'll be very popular.

I like the look of these... but not from crate and barrel. They are mass produced with methods that are likely very wasteful. They're turning something that was once created as a way to reduce waste and use as much of the coconut as possible into a silly trend and another thing to buy and get sick of in a year. If you must have the look, find them handcrafted somewhere. If you don't want to spend the money for that, then you don't love it enough to buy it.

To affect an appreciation of primitive cultures. It just looks like it is as shown: beige couch, check. Neutral color scheme, check. Natural crap, check.

Ugly.

I hate to say it, but these are hideous.

I think the first photo doesn't do them justice.
Being a minimalist freak myself, I am surprized to find them delightfully... bohemian.

These look like they have been made by Buffalo Bill or Ed Gein, lets hope they don't do a nipple lampshade too.

These are some of the funniest comments I've read in a while, topped by a reference to...(drum roll)... Ed Gein! Ah, AT.

Quite possibly the ugliest things I've ever seen.

I don't much like the jars, but speaking of this material and style: IKEA has palm-leaf baskets, which I think make more sense. Saw them on sale at a store near us last week. I didn't buy any - not my style at all - but thought the baskets looked kinda neat though, if you dig that style.

Maybe if I found them on an island while I was traveling in the South Pacific and brought them home as a souvenir 0 but I'm sure I'd find something from there i'd like better...
...but from Crate and Barrel? No friggin way!
(That must be why they're over 50% off)

yes, shushi... thanks for saying what I was thinking.
only they came off of some franken-stitched mastadon.

These probably cost them $3.00 to buy form a underpaid foreign worker that they then sell for $30.00.
