Purchased to corral dog toys in a prettier way. The wide open vessel, and the way it sits to one side, make this basket perfect for the task. As you can see, its easy for my short friend to dig around and find what she needs and it looks good doing it. This basket is clearly intended to have contents in it. When empty, it lolls around due to the uneven bottom. Once full, and trust me those dog toys arent heavy, its nice and stable.
