I am a newborn photographer and have been looking for the perfect prop. This is exactly what I needed - deep enough to hold the filler, so the baby is nice and comfortable, but not too deep to require too much padding. The color is beautiful and the construction is very sturdy. I also love using it for 6 month olds to sit in - simply in love with this piece! I must go back and get more colors! ready to toss a lot of my older baskets now.
