OH MY GAH!!! I love this Indoor/Outdoor Braided Storage Basket. I purchased mine in white. It arrived folded up nicely in a plastic bag, inside of a box. It is perfect for what I needed it for. I purchased this basket to store all of my Yorkshire Terrier's toys, he has a lot of toys, LOL. However, one could for sure use this as a laundry basket, or to store folded blankets if so inclined. The white is gorgeous just as the picture.
