This basket is larger than I expected but the image fully represents the color and appearance. It is a quality, versatile basket with substantial space for storing a variety of items in numerous rooms in your home. I got this basket for my daughter to use in her room; she was able to store multiple jars of candles and have easy access to them. She values the open concept with front handle on this basket because she is able to easily slide the basket out and retrieve the candle of choice. The basket is lightweight yet durable and produced from handwoven natural water hyacinth fibers which is a plus for our environment. The weave and color will complement diverse decors and are an attractive way to tidy up any room.
