This wicker laundry set is absolutely gorgeous. And a good price for what you get. The waste basket is a good size i.e. larger than average. The hamper is very well made and sturdy. I checked for any broken bands on the weave and there were none. I am using the baskets in my laundry room on a glass shelf above the washer and dryer. Very pleased with my purchase and as ever, I'll be back!
