This Laundry basket is more than a basket. It adds such a charm to our home! Specially if you are into industrial/rustic design. I use it for: 1. laundry - no hassle or pain in my back if navigating through my house. 
2. blankets folded inside never looked nicer beside my couch. 3. During parties this is my bar cart with chips, bottles of drinks etc.easy to reach for and pass on. 4. I used it before as a stand for a potted plant in the house.
