I have a few other smaller and much larger size rope baskets around the house that I love. I decided to get this one for my sons room to hold a few books and quiet toys for his “quiet time” or if he wakes up early in the morning. We were going on a camping trip recently, and we usually take a plastic basket of toys/books that the kids can have in the car/while we camp. I decided to use this one instead this time, and it worked GREAT! It’s soft, so it made it easier to fit between the seats, and mold to whatever was around it. We brought it to to the tent at night, so the kids could play with something if they woke up with the crack of dawn lol. It was just all around nice to have for travel, and an unexpected perk.
