This basket is so perfect! I used to have one where I could hang the bananas, but I didn't like the difficulty my daughter had getting bananas or, if they were very ripe, how the dangle could rip open bananas I did not want at the time. Having these two baskets together is an even better option. It's a very pretty and sizable basket. See my picture - I sat it next to a standard-sized paper towel holder for scale. I'm very pleased with this purchase!
