I ordered two of these, one for my husband and one for me.  They are perfect for pitching dirty laundry into to carry to the laundry room.  I knew I had made a great decision to purchase these when my husband commented how much he liked the basket and how convenient it was for him.  They are a perfect size, very sturdy, not flimsy at all.  To protect the handles from continuance use I wrapped them with GLAD PRESS 'n SEAL.  It has worked perfectly and has stayed on the handles after MANY carries of the baskets.  I highly recommend the baskets.
