I had wanted a wicker-style basket for storage in my bedroom. This bin is sturdy and matches the decor, and it fits perfectly in the little "nest" I had measured for it! One comment - not necessarily a complaint: the amount of packing around the basket seemed excessive, and took a while to dismantle and prepare for recycling. However, I've noticed some people have been dissatisfied when an item has arrived dented in some way, so I assume that "over-packing" has been in response to that. I do love my basket, though. . .
