The basket is a nice size, however, I needed extra space even with the stated dimensions of this basket for the desired space. The ribbing and contouring around the basket made it too snug for the cabinet. I was going to return the item, but Wayfair was going to charge around $8 return shipping whether I selected store credit or original payment method. Otherwise, it is the most beautiful basket! It is very well made and extremely sturdy. The liner is an extra plus. The front-top of the lid opens toward the rear of the basket. You can securely store a host of precious goodies in the basket.
