These baskets are sturdy and strong, but they come packaged completely smashed. As other reviews have noted, they don't hold their shape very well on their own. If you are storing blankets or pillows or other bulky items, they will probably work great. I have smaller items (like hats and gloves) in mine, and no matter how many times I try to reshape them, they end up sort of folding again. 

Pros: Durable, nice colors
Cons: Doesn't retain shape
