I was thrilled with the size of the basket as I wanted it so that I could store my extra fleece throws, they are each about a mid size throw for a couch or char.I rolled up my throws to place them in the basket, 4 fit nicely, however when I went to lift the basket to move it I found that one of the handles had become unattached, it seems that the handle was woven around  a very small attachment and it let go quite easily.  The other handle seems ok.
