I bought this basket about 4 months ago. It was exactly the size I was looking for. The only problem is that the plastic has cracked along the two long edges where I place my hands to carry it. It has cracked, 3 times on one side and one on the other. I do not necessarily think this is typical of Sterlite products since I have an old, round sterlite basket that I have had for several years with no problems.
