The size of the basket is perfect for a load as large as bedding to as small as kitchen towels. The placement of the handles are well thoughtout, the design concept of where it rest against the hip for support while carrying heavier laundry comes naturally. The color: I really like that the plastic is kinda clear/translucent, the thickness of the plastic is perfect so it is less likely to crack and snag my clothes and not flimsy plastic. However would appreciate a more affordable price point from Walmart (this is why we, the consumer CHOOSE Walmart). If I reflect and Lookback at all the yrs I have been purchasing laundry baskets, if it was from the Dollar store, 99 cent only (where did they go?? - huge bummer), Target or from Walmart. I have purchased many laundry baskets. So many, in different shapes, sizes, designs, colors for organizing your kids rooms, the pantry, toys, laundry, even your animals stuff so they are very versatile, and across all price ranges from the cheaper ones that have a lot of flex in them that cracks out in the plastic, then snags clothing and creates holes and tears over time or it would bend into a unrecognizable plastic blob of plastic that would eventually be banish to the recycle bins in a rather short period of time. Then I came across this design, and I very much so appreciate this design to slay the never ending chore of laundry to help in transferring to and from washer to hanger or to dryer and to carry for folding to putting away. Time will tell if it stands up and doesnt crack. At this point in time I would buy again and would recommend to others. (This size is perfect for putting under the bed)
