basket in general is nice - sides are a bit flemzy - the base could be a bit wider for better stability - but for my purpose in the kitchen I just needed to get potatoes and onions off the counter or floor since I have cats and one cat likes to chew on things.... havent decided what will go in the bottom basket yet but my 4 yr old grandaughter put canned food and her snack in it yesterday while playing kitchen in Nanas kitchen!!! over all I like it but give it only 4 stars since its a bit flemzy....
