Does anyone still have/use your Peterboro Baskets??

I was cleaning out some kitchen cabinets this weekend and found several of the Peterboro baskets that I bought from QVC years ago. I especially love the round one with the plastic sectioned insert for condiments when grilling hotdogs/hamburgers. I always thought that the prices were very reasonable and wondered what ever happened to the brand??

They still exist and have their own website: Peterboro

They're also sold by other retailers (including LL Bean). QVC dropped them a long time ago, as they have so many other specialist vendors. I have one basket that I use every day; it was a magazine basket, but I use it for odds and ends. It's always in my living room and still looks as good as the day I bought it.

Thank you for the info!! I agree with you and all of my baskets still look perfect. I used to love buying them for wedding gifts so I am going to check out the website. Thanks again!

I love Peterboro baskets, have them, still using them and wish the Q hadn't gotten rid of them. Beautifully made for the money....

QVC saturated the market and their value collapsed. Maybe they'll return, in another generation.

I still have a couple that I use. One is 3 baskets with liners that nest and the other is a round basket that sits in a wrought iron stand.

We have one that we use to hold magazines, throws, etc. It's still in perfect condition.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
