I actually have 2 of these. I bought 2 more but not Sterlite brand later so everyone in my family has their own basket. The non-Sterlite brand baskets are smaller and thinner plastic and are less comfortable to carry up and down the stairs. Everyone always tries to get to the Sterlite baskets during laundry sessions. We have also had the baskets for over 7 years and there are absolutely NO signs of wear and tear. Wow! I think that would be an "Enough Said" comment, right there!
