It's perfect. For something so simple, there are WAY too many options out there to choose from, so I'll make this easy for you and say that you should get this one and you'll be very happy. I looked at so many stair baskets (more than I even thought was possible) before settling on this one. The main reason I chose this basket is because the sides are all 90 degree angles. Many of the other stair baskets' sides are angled and slanted and don't hug the stairs as evenly. I also did not want a basket that had actual handles. The finger openings on both sides work perfectly for carrying up and down the stairs. 

Something to consider though: because I went with a dark basket, it can be hard to see what's inside, especially in the deeper side, but that's not really an issue for me since I mainly use the smaller side, and I am willing to deal with it to have the color basket I want.
