I purchased this for our laundry hamper in our master suite.  It was much larger than I expected and its tightly woven.  I love the fact that it has a lid on it, so you can cover up the dirty laundry from sight.  When its time to do the laundry, all you have to do is grab those 2 handy handles and haul it to the laundry room.  Its easier to hold on to than a traditional laundry basket, because they are oblong.  Anyone with back issues might appreciate this, as I do!
