Perfect size for a small or medium load of laundry.  However,  I'm currently using this to organize handbags and backpacks that would otherwise be strewn across the floor.  I'm sure I will find other uses for it too. Looks great so can be used in really any room of the house.  Only reason for 4 starts is because the handles are removable, and as a result the metal part that fits into to the basket stick out 1/4 in. which takes away very slightly from the otherwise sleek look.  A bit expensive for a basket, but the design sold me.  Happy with my purchase overall!
