Baskets - love vs. practicality

Okay, so, I had a coupon and gift card for PB, and I caved on the basket...however, then I went to Ikea, and found this one. Definitely not as great as the beachcomber basket, but for large difference in price, maybe it could grow on me...

Hopefully Sean will help me get the big fat tree into the basket - or try to see if it will fit...some towns close to us are going to have weather in the 30s tonight!!
