This is a great basket. It holds a lot and of course, storage is easy because it collapses. There is a down side. It's heavy. The silicone sections that make it collapsible also make it heavy. For the few of us that like to hang laundry out on the clothes line, this isn't a great basket for that. Wet clothes in this basket are very heavy. There are no holes in it either for airing damp laundry, like damp towels. If you use it as a hamper, you better hurry and wash those items or you'll get mold.  I bought it for easy storage and it's real good at that!
