These bins are the perfect depth for me to store on the built-in bookshelves in my family room. I use them to store larger toys. My 3 year old daughter likes to use the handles to carry the bin to and from the shelves. The construction is a wire frame with cloth around it and seems sturdy enough for our purposes. 

I got them in Tan and I would describe the color as a very light natural beige or maybe even off-white. They're very light in color. 

These are working out well for me and I would recommend them to others!
