Some garden objects are purely practical, and some are a pleasure to own. This is firmly the second kind. The Sophie Conran Large Harvesting Basket — made by Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmakers working in steel since 1730 — is the basket you'll find yourself reaching for not because you have to, but because using it makes the simple act of gathering from the garden feel just a little more considered.

It's the kind of piece that earns its place twice over: out in the kitchen garden gathering beans, courgettes, and the first tomatoes; and back indoors as a thing of quiet beauty — holding kindling by the stove, styled with seasonal blooms on a kitchen table, or simply hung on a hook waiting for the next harvest.

The design

Sophie Conran, of the well-known Conran British design dynasty, brings a contemporary country-house sensibility to the Burgon & Ball range. This basket is the result — a piece that manages to be both genuinely useful and genuinely lovely, which is harder to achieve than it sounds.

  • Powder-coated galvanised steel wire in a classic grey — strong, weather-resistant, and built to last years of outdoor use without rusting or losing its finish
  • Open-weave construction — the practical heart of the design. Soil shakes free and rainwater or washing-water drains straight through, so freshly picked produce and cut flowers don't sit in a puddle at the bottom
  • FSC-certified beech wood handle — gently contoured to sit comfortably in the hand, adding a warm, natural counterpoint to the cool grey steel
  • Brass seal engraved with the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo — a discreet mark of provenance and the finishing touch that signals this is the genuine article

Generously sized

This is the large basket in the range, measuring approximately 37cm long by 26cm wide by 30cm high including the handle. That's enough capacity to gather a proper harvest in one trip — an armful of cut flowers, a glut of runner beans, a row's worth of potatoes, or enough salad and veg for a household rather than a single meal. If you have a smaller plot or want something for lighter picking, Burgon & Ball also make a small version of the same design.

What you'll use it for

  • Harvesting vegetables — beans, courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, the daily pickings of a productive kitchen garden
  • Cutting flowers — the open weave is ideal for a cutting garden, letting stems breathe and any water drain as you gather dahlias, sweet peas, and cosmos for the house
  • Collecting eggs — for those with hens, the basket is a classic egg-gathering size and shape
  • Carrying tools — trowel, twine, snips, and gloves all travel neatly from shed to plot
  • Indoor styling — kindling by the fire, a centrepiece of seasonal stems, or simply a beautiful object on a dresser or worktop

Made by Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball have been making fine garden tools in Sheffield since 1730 — nearly three centuries of metalworking heritage. Today they're endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and known worldwide for the quality and longevity of their tools and accessories. A Sophie Conran piece carrying the Burgon & Ball name is about as well-credentialled as garden kit gets: thoughtful British design, made by one of the country's most respected toolmakers.

A note on care

The powder-coated steel needs little attention — rinse off soil after use and let it dry, and it will look its best for years. The beech handle benefits from being kept out of prolonged wet; an occasional wipe with a little linseed oil keeps the wood nourished and handsome over time. Store under cover when not in use to protect the handle, and the basket will become one of those garden objects that simply gets better with age and use.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: approximately 37cm long × 26cm wide × 30cm high (including handle)
  • Basket material: powder-coated galvanised steel wire, classic grey

A genuinely lovely gift for a keen gardener — the kind of present that's used and enjoyed for years rather than tucked away in a cupboard. The combination of the Sophie Conran name, the Burgon & Ball heritage, and the obvious everyday usefulness makes it an easy choice for a milestone birthday, a house-warming, or a thank-you to someone who has everything except, perhaps, the perfect harvest basket.

Cheaply made but functional
Color: Black
Pros: The headrest is highly adjustable. Even if you're tall you'll likely be able to tilt it so that you can rest your head on it while reclining. The instructions for putting it together are easy to follow. It's perfectly serviceable as a desk chair with no glaring defects. The mesh material keeps your body cool and dry even when sitting in it all day. Cons It's obviously very lightweight and cheaply made. This does make the chair easier to move, but this doesn't really feel like a $180 chair at all. More like a $120 or even $100 chair. The chair back is attached to the chair seat by a plastic bracket. Nearly every desk chair I've had in the past has had their back attached to the bottom with a metal bracket, and even those start to bend out of shape after a year or so. While reclining a good portion of your weight will be resting on this plastic bracket, and I simply cannot see this cheap plastic lasting for very long supporting anyone's body weight over a long period of time. If you buy this chair, make sure to get the warranty. The armrests are closer together than on most chairs, which creates a claustrophobic feeling of being squeezed by them. You get used to it eventually, and you can just put the armrests up if you want to, but a way to adjust the armrest width would have been nice. The lumbar support doesn't really do anything at all. It only presses against my back at the most intense setting, and even then not very much. There is no incremental recline setting. Either you are fully reclined, or sitting fully upright. Luckily the full recline setting is about perfect for me, but for a $180 chair you'd expect a bit more settings here.

Great Chair
Color: Black
Very comfortable chair! I’m a big guy - 6’ 2”, 285 lbs. and it fits me perfectly. The head rest is a nice touch and I appreciate it more than I thought I would. Lumbar support is in just the right position and is adjustable (more support vs. less support). It does adjust up and down but not very much. Was also super simple to put together although I did have to crank on the screws that attach the back of the arm rest to the back of the chair. If you’re looking for a place to plant your butt for 8 hours, this is your chair.

DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Absolute garbage chair. Only had for six month and the mesh on the seat has already come apart after using it for my home office. Chair was squaking after only three months and now I can't even sit in it cause it sags. Can't even get my money back for this cheap garbage.

Very comfortable with good lower-back support
Most comfortable, well made, easy assembly office-gaming chair (very pleased)! *I suggest, HOLD-OFF popping the seat onto the upper-cylinder until AFTER assembling the back-rest onto the seat/arm-seat with back-rest as a unit...can then be popped onto the upper gas-cylinder(Much more stable than fighting with chair freely rolling and turning) while attempting to aligning the holes assembling the back-rest. Afterwards the seat with back-rest assembled can easily be popped onto to the upper-end of the gas-cylinder and we are good to go! * do pay attention to using the correct bubble-packed bolts for each assembly, as directed * all the holes align -up very precisely... so if screwing in the bolt(s) and after a couple-turns it gets hard-to-turn, we are 'cross-threading the bolt into the threaded hole...so back-out and realign the bolt as so it threads in very easy. * the bubble-pack of bolts are clearly labeled so as we easily know which ones go where. *0ne bubble-packet even includes a spare group just in case we lost one (like out in the grass-lawn)? * Included a T-handle alien-head wrench (all needed for total assembly) very nice for having around if any re-tightening needed. all speaks Quality! >>> Been using about a month now...And I REALLY like this office gaming chair _ very comfortable cushioned well and excellent lower-back support _ the faux-leather seems to be more thick and durable and stitching is NOT ripping-out (as my previous & more expensive chair had done with it's paper-thin faux leather) _ easy assembled chair seems very sturdy and solid, (yet light weight), in moving around, (not some wobbly contraption as my previous more expensive chair). _ a strong Five-Star rating!
