The first two I received had the handles sewn on crooked on one side. I did get two replacements, but the handles are too near to the edge on these.  Since I’m not really going to be carrying them around, it’s not a big issue. My bigger problem with them is that although they are very beautiful and seemingly sturdy, they do kind of have that wet grass smell about them. I hesitate to put anything in them like pillows or blankets or stuffed toys until the smell goes away, if it ever does go away.
