I used this wall basket in an unconventional way: on a wall in a small apartment kitchen. Cabinet and drawer space was limited, yet I had a big, empty wall. The problem was a door opened flat against this wall. I saw this wall basket, ordered it, put it up (ready to hang) and voila! Cereal, SaranWrap, oil and vinegar bottles all slip in! And the door still opens with no hang-up.
