I've used the laundry basket for approximately 8 days (since I moved into my new home) and after about 10 loads it literally cracked right by the handle of the basket. I was very excited about a product that I can use and then squish down and store it out of the way and now I'm seeing it wasn't worth very much to begin with. I'm very disappointed in the product and don't seem to have the ability to complain about it directly to the manufacture. DO NOT PURCHASE.
