The first impression of the Lorymachy firewood basket is thoroughly positive. The product is delivered in a classic shipping box that is both attractive and functional . The compact and secure packaging ensures that the wood basket arrives undamaged. However, it is noticeable that the use of plastic film for the packaging would not necessarily have been necessary , which raises questions about sustainability. In times when environmentally friendly alternatives are becoming increasingly important, a more environmentally friendly solution could be chosen here.
The contents of the packaging are complete and in perfect condition, which reinforces the positive overall impression. Instructions for use are not included, but this should not be seen as a disadvantage, as the intuitive handling of the product makes detailed instructions superfluous.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €29.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €9.99 . The Lorymachy wood basket is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €19.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
