My husband and I are both over 65. We live in a second floor apartment. I purchased two of these baskets because the handles on my old baskets had.broken after almost three years of use. With the very first use of these baskets, the outer handles broke. I had already thrown away my old ones so I had to continue using these brand new baskets. The end handles broke within 3 weeks. I do not recommend these baskets. I'm not sure if I will purchase any other Sterilite products in the future.
