Extra Large 20 x 18 Inches Decorative Woven Cotton Rope Basket, Tall Laundry Basket Hamper, Blanket Basket for Living Room, Round Storage Baskets for Pillows, Towels, Light Brown

I dont usually write reviews of products unless I hate them, but I am making an exception because this one came with an effusive set of instructions on how to get the basket into its intended shape. It comes folded nicely in a plastic bag with a BOW tied around it. I was instructed to STUFF the basket until it resumed its shape; and if that didnt work, to steam or iron it. Then I was entreated to write a review, so how could I not? This business, according to the literature that came with the basket, is a small, family-run one that provided me with a good-quality product, unlike so many other vendors I have encountered on Amazon. I do love the basket--I use it to stash my yoga paraphernalia--its durable and attractive, and the instructions/customer appreciation/review request was a bonus.

I purchased several baskets, trying to find something large enough to fit all of my childrens play food. Finally, this one worked! I stuffed pillows in it initially to get rid of the folds from shipping; most of them came out, still a bit of them left, but Im hoping they will iron themselves out eventually. The sides stay up just fine, although the contents go up to about 7/8 of the way full, so perhaps thats holding the whole thing up. The rope is very soft, which is what I wanted so it wouldnt scuff up our wood floors. With the toys inside, the basket is quite heavy, but the handles and rope structure are holding up so far. No smell from the basket; just a natural fiber smell. Overall a nice basket. I just wish it wasnt made in China. Im trying to find more made in USA products, but couldnt find one in the size and material I wanted. :(

This is exactly what I was looking for to have in our living room to have throws readily available. We love throws - especially in the winter - but I was weary of them laying all around because we didnt have a storage solution. This is perfect and we love it. Blends in nicely. Works great. And no funky smell upon arrival! I have recommended this basket to several people already.

I bought this to keep my yoga mats, small weights and exercise shoes organizer, so that my room doesnt look messy. It is perfect! The design and colors are very nice, the materials used are very durable and the handles are nice and sturdy as well. It comes flat and air vacuum packed. It does require a day or two to get the a perfectly round shape. All instructions are included. I stuffed mine with doggie blankets for a full day and it rounded out nicely. I could see this making a great hamper, childs room organizer and even a nice bathroom towel bin. I highly recommend.

Its sturdy, holds a lot of things and dosnt hurt your hands when you carry it. What I dont like: its been 3 months and its still not to a circle shape. Im starting to wonder if it will have permenanr creases from the folding during its time in the package.
