I love this basket. I have seen some reviews on this of people not satisfied with it, but someone, somewhere isn’t happy with something. I call it a basket because it’s not just a laundry basket to me. We recently moved and I used this to put heavy, breakable and last minute stuff in it. It held up with no issues. I also use it for a laundry basket, which has been thrown down stairs several times and its still held up. More importantly I love the handles which are easy to hold and very durable. I have used other baskets and the handles snap off or crack. The size, in general, of this basket makes it very efficient to carry around while tossing stuff into it. I think it is a very effective product.
