The colors and textures of this basket are so pretty. I bought it to house a large plant. Unfortunately, it arrives flat, and needs a considerable amount of reshaping, to get it to look as pictured. I was never able to achieve the structured, basket look represented. I think it would be fine to store toys or soft linens, if you are not concerned about a soft, unstructured look. I use it as a tote, which works just fine but I’m disappointed I can’t use it as planned.
