First of all, it's adorable! Like all the Yamazaki products I own, it's very well-made, and I know it will last. It's great for small to medium loads (I live in an apartment, and have to go to the basement to do laundry), and the handles are perfect -- so much better than lugging a giant pile down the stairs in my arms. I may also step up to the large size basket at some point, too.
