Okay so the basket itself has shown to be durable, however the handles have slowly broken off. I have two of the same 1.25 Bushel Ultra Hip Hold Laundry Baskets. I have had then approximately 1 yr. and the thru the span of the last six months the side handles slowly one by one started to break off of each basket. It is frustrating and uncomfortable to have to carry the basket from the front and back handles. I am extremely dissatisfied with this purchase.
