I bought the largest size laundry basket about 12 months ago. I did not start using it till about 6 months ago for my three times weekly wash. Two months ago the first handle broke, not just the insert that I assume for strength, but the actual part of the basket that said handle attaches to. Today there was another handle that broke and it also actually was the basket as well. This is a not what one would expect from what is a moderately expensive laundry basket. I certainly could not recommend purchase of this product. (Note: my last laundry basket lasted over ten years!!)
