When I redecorated my bathroom I wanted to find something to use in place of the usual "Toilet Paper Holder" that sits on the floor, my bathroom is small so I wanted to save floor space. I saw this basket online and thought the "vintage" feel would really go with my decor. I secured it to the wall over a small mirror, to hold extra rolls of toilet paper and hand towels. It makes these "extra" items feel like part of the design scheme and I have received so many compliments on it. The basket itself is very well made, not flimsy at all. Excellent choice for my needs.
