As a working mom running a 6 person household, I have learned over the years that I can never seem to have enough baskets and bins for daily tasks and organization.
I was happy at the opportunity to try these: as in, they looked functional, and I did like the grey color of the fabric and how it seemed to compliment the brown color of the handles.
However, when they arrived they were even better in person, as the title says…
For starters, these things seem bigger in person. I consider that a positive for obvious reasons. (Be aware that they both are the exact same size, identical in every way…They are not nesting baskets in which one is slightly smaller for easy storage). To be fair, they don't need to "nest" anyway since they can be completely collapsed down for easy storage instead.
Other positives:
–sturdy bottom can handle higher volume/weight
–multi-functional: great for laundry transportation, toy storage, hiding messes quickly, etc.
–versatile colors are workable in pretty much every single room in my house without clashing (multi season too)
–not flimsy at all, with a crisp, tight rectangular shape (when stood upright with the side metal stands that are sewn into the fabric)
–a dark enough shade of grey to hide any stains or aging (necessary for items like these where you cannot launder the fabric separately and it must be spot-cleaned).
Potential negatives:
–must be spot-cleaned
–not necessarily a negative, but the collapsible nature of this item does make me worry about the longevity of the product. Time will ultimately tell, and it appears high quality, so no need to deduct any points for this preemptively.
