They call their bassinets, "nature's bassinets", as they are completely handmade with dried natural elephant grass. Elephant grass is similar to hardened hay.

Leather handle colors may range slightly within their color groups. Baskets are made in a controlled environment according to government-issued safety standards. Our products have been tested by a US CPSC-approved laboratory for safety. Baskets are not to be used with any other pillows or mattresses.

The Moses basket is a keepsake item and met expectations. The problem was with the delivery process in that it took a long time to get to me and I had to follow up on the delay. I feel the problem was the item was not processed properly. My prior experience with Perigold has been positive and deliveries were fast and customer service was excellent so while inconvenient, I trusted that the issue would ultimately be corrected, and it was. The quality and reliability of Perigold held sway and influenced my patience and Goodwill in this instance.. Vicki. Mon Sep 15 2025
