Sometimes it's the little things and this is one example. I just love this basket - old fashioned charm that looks good out in the open and doesn't just look wash day perfunctory, washable liner perfect for extra care when holding laundry and it's a nice touch aesthetically, just the size I want (fits our clothes and fits on top of dryer perfectly; note: if you have a big family and/or a lot of washing, this might be too small for you). It was a win for me.
