I had been looking for a nice, large basket to store my pool towels in. Most of the baskets I looked at that were comparable in size to this were very expensive.  I decided to purchase this one because of the price and size as well as the black and white houndstooth color.  It matches my laundry room perfectly, adds a little bit of decorative style to my storage needs and is a great size.  It holds 6 oversized rolled beach towels.
