Love this basket!  First reason is I don't have to bend over to gather my laundry to take to machine.  In fact, I wheeled my laundry over to the washer which was terrific.  Second...and probably the best reason I like this...I think it looks great and makes a fun statement piece in the room...even if it for laundry.  Easy assembly.  I'll keep this piece and use for other things in later years.
