I live in a two story house and we have two major problems...where to put all the socks, baby clothes,  and dish towels and where to put things that we need to take upstairs. I know we could just take everything up as it needs to go but I don't feel like going up the stairs w million times a day.  These two baskets have fixed these issues.  They look nice and hold quite a lot. It allows us to put things away in a neat way and then take them upstairs when needed.
