Basket is working fine.  It fits well on our steps.  The weaving is tight and good quality.  The handles don't look very substantial, yet feel like they would handle the job of carrying the basket around.  I personally won't be hauling it up and down the stairs.  It holds a large amount of junk that accumulates on our stairs; right now it is filled with quite a few books, several pairs of shoes and all the Legos I throw into it every time I walk by!
