I probably should have researched what rattan actually is.  The baskets looked (in the photos) much softer than they are - I was hoping for a soft, yet sturdy basket - these are very stiff!  Also, if you are looking to fit these in a standard Ikea cube - they will be about an inch or two short.  However, I love the color and they are very well made.  Plus, they (supposedly, hopefully!) are handmade by people in the Philippines and your purchase (supposedly, hopefully!) goes to support them and their families.   I also didn't like that they all came in separate boxes (I bought 4) - that seemed sort of wasteful to me when other vendors have similar boxes that are collapsible.
