Brilliant!  Berries are so delicate, and can spoil so easily when stored in a closed, moist container.   I bought two packs of juicy blackberries recently.   Washed and patted them dry with a paper towel, then placed them gently into the storage basket.  They remained dry and fresh for days longer than normal, and they there is enough room for left for air to circulate.  Yummy...and no wasted  on wasted berries!   This item does come with a lid.  Some items have no lids but are meant to be stacked, thus creating a lid.  Highly recommend.
