I wanted to write this review because the other reviews on this site nearly deterred me from purchasing from Design Dua so I want to provide a counterpoint. I purchased the Moses basket & changing basket combination along with the stand and some extra sheets. My items just arrived, so haven't used with baby yet, but they are well made and beautiful. With the liner in the moses basket, the inside of the basket is very soft. The leather color is as pictured. My order shipped super fast - much faster than I was expecting. I ordered on a Thursday or Friday and everything arrived just a few days later on Wednesday. I was so pleasantly surprised! The prices were very reasonable for handmade products. The company has many positive Etsy reviews which is what eventually swayed me to go ahead with my order but I wanted to leave a positive review on this page.
I received this "handmade" basket after spending over $200 on it. The basket is lop sided, the tag isn't centered (handmade so again, not considered a defect) and my "leather" handles were bright orange. Needless to say, contacting customer service is a waste of time. They will not take ownership in their jacked up basket! Instead I get to pay to have it shipped back and then have my shipping of the original basket taken out of my refund even if it was free shipping as part of a promo with purchasing! Beware people! I'm stuck with a messed up basket!
Super easy and quick! Everything arrived packaged very well and was super easy to put together. It's beautiful and goes very well with my baby's nursery and we are very excited to get to use it.
Shipping was fast, which I wasn't expecting. I really love the basket. The washing instructions on the sheet say tumble low but I tumbled on high accidentally. They assisted me to get a replacement.
I was really really happy to receive my bassinet. Although when it came I was a little disappointed because the front of the basket is uneven and sagging…
Love their stuff!
Heard it’s great for newborns.
So far everything I have gotten from this company has been high quality! I love everything I have got. The sleep gowns, nursing pillow, and bassinet are all amazing. Love them!
I was drawn to them initially because of the style and calmness in colors.
I liked the style and they all high quality
The liner is quite small... barely fit. Which is disappointing considering the price I paid for the product... I do like the Moses bassinet very well made. But still too expensive..
Baby shower. Gift request..
I always give a Moses basket. With a handmade quilt..
I had a few questions about this natural fiber bassinet and my questions were quickly answered. I was very happy to get this and give as a beautiful baby gift
They responded quickly to my emails and questions!
This was on my friends baby registry

We purchased the bbassinet, stand, sheet and basket cover and basket liner. All came in our order and we were very impressed with how well packaged the basket came. We are excited to use it soon!
We liked the look of the bassinet but also the rocking function
Sadly, I have to agree with the other reviewer. I wish I had never given them my business. There are other companies with beautiful products at comparable prices, and they HAVE to be friendlier and more professional than Design Dua. I wish I'd ordered from anyone else.
After spending almost $400 on baskets and stands and bedding, it's impossible to speak with a customer service rep on the phone. The owner said that is not an option. The service rep, Grace, comes across as cold, and doesn't seem to understand the screenshots or comments from my emails. She just keeps telling me to refer to their homepage, which doesn't answer why it appears something might be missing from my order. I sent a screenshot showing that my order says " PLUS Cotton Bedding," which made me think it was included (since I also chose the option from the drop down menu when I ordered."
The owner explained today that I added that option from the wrong page (?) and it didn't show up in my cart (even though my order says " PLUS Cotton Bedding." I am an avid online shopper and still do not understand what she means that I added it from the wrong page. I cannot even find a different option to add the bedding I thought I ordered. SO CONFUSING.
My highest recommendation is to avoid this company, and order from the others who sell beautiful bassinets, stands, and changing baskets for similar prices. It simply is not worth it to do business with them.
We are sorry to see that Sarah is upset with our customer service and our company. Sarah ordered for the Bassinet Combo set and a Stand Bundle. Sarah received all the items in her order. Sarah complained that she meant to add extra bedding to her cart but did not. We did not state that the items were added from the wrong page, we explained that she did not add them or at checkout decided to remove them from her cart. The items were not in her cart at checkout and were not charged to her. She stated that Grace was rude to her because she explained this to her but would not agree that we forgot the items in her order. We did not. Due to her being upset and confused, we offered to create an order for the items which she intended to order and send them to her free shipping. She was still upset with us because they were not in her original order and expected us to send them without charge. We did not make an error in her order and we were not rude in any way. We are sorry our resolution was not enough for the customer.

I accidentally ordered the wrong item for the bassinet I have. They quickly replaced the item for the correct one and it showed up at my door correctly! Such a relief for a very pregnant mom!
I love the look and functionality of the bassinets
It went with the bassinet I purchased second hand.
Very Good / Quick Delivery I had ordered one for another shower months ago but felt that the recipient would not like it so was happy to see that for this new recipient it was on her list

We love all of your products. We love the wicker dua bassinet. I was wondering if you have a cover/slip that could cover the bottom of the wicker bassinet to protect it?
Bassinet purchased for baby shower. Wanted extra sheets and pads!
Easy to order and like that I got free shipping on this expense item. Do not like FedEx they gave me 3 different delivery days.
Not only did we have a very fast delivery but I'm in love with the products! I cannot wait until our little boy is here to put them to use!
I’ve heard so many great things about Design Dua and wanted to ensure I had the best quality for our baby.
I loved the style of the bassinet and knew I needed the matching changing basket.
We are so excited for our baby, arriving soon, to use these products. Everything came so quickly and is beautifully crafted.
Excellent- it was so easy as my Granddaughter is pregnant and asked me to purchase it for her shower gift,
My Granddaughter is pregnant and selected Design Dua.
My pregnant Granddaughter selected the product.
Such a beautiful basket! The pad is also very comfortable. I would absolutely order again or as a gift!
Easy purchasing, asked customer service a question. Got a response quickly and was impressed with fast shipping!
Very fast response to question about shipping.
Gift for a friend.
Friend picked it.
I bought this for my new granddaughter! It came within 3 days! It arrived in excellent condition and actually better quality than I expected!
The changing basket arrived promptly and my daughter is happy with it. Her cats love it, too. Now if only the baby would arrive!
Good response to my questions on timeframe and delivery with updates that were very much appreciated to meet our event gifting timeframe.
Thank you
My daughter selected Design Dua for Bassinet and Changing Table items
Loved the Basket images
Great experience. Ordering was easy to navigate and the product shipped quickly and in perfect condition.
Sorry the items are expensive for you. These are completely handmade, fair trade baskets. It takes several days to make one. If you worked for several days on one item, you would expect fair pay for your time and this is what we provide to our team. Thank You
