The Story behind this basket:
NGWAO BOSWA (Gomare Botswana) 
This basket is made by Ngapambe

In 1986 around 40 basket weavers united in Gumare to form a cooperative called Ngwao Boswa, which means "A Traditional You Have Inherited”. Twice a week they met for basket weaving at their house in Gomare village, from where they also sell their baskets. 
Basketry in Gomare is, as in other remote rural areas, an ancient agricultural craft. The basket weavers, who are mainly women use locally gathered natural materials. Formerly the baskets were, and some still are, made for utilitarian domestic needs.
There are different  basic shapes woven in different techniques which are determined by their particular purpose, usually storage or transport of grain, beer and herbs. The symbolic patterns crafted through  generations are related to nature or legends.

Love the design and shape - Customer Service Amazing
Color: Black with Lid
UPDATED READ BELOW: Initial review: I think this is a great product, at a great price. Unfortunately, the wireless charger mine came with doesn’t work. It’ll charge for a few seconds, shut off, start charging, immediately shut back off - repeating this cycle. I’ve used the included cable, and two other cables as well as different outlets. Unfortunately, I threw out the box before checking this so can’t return to replace it…ugh Updated approx 3 weeks later: Seller reached out and sent me a replacement charger at no cost, it works perfectly so far (even though it has been a day lol) but no issues, no complaints here. Love this organizer - feels premium. Definitely recommend

Great organizer but will only charge a phone
Color: Black with Lid
My husband likes all the compartments. The only negative is that it doesn’t charge multiple items like AirPods or tablets. It is a very sturdy design and looks like it would organize things on a drop and go table.

Feels like it wouldn’t last very long.
