When I received these I was expecting more of a "blue" color since that is what I ordered. It is more gray than blue. Also the one popped up nicely and works great. The other one wouldn't really pop up and I am having trouble getting it to stay in the up position. I have them in a spot where your eye isn't drawn to them, so they work but I was expecting a little better.These are really cute and look great in the kitchen!This bin has been perfect for my needs. It fits into a small cupboard space perfectly. I like the handles, I need them to slide it out of the storage space. I use it for a first aid basket, because it's a bit soft but sturdy I can move things around to fit more into it.The sides don’t pop out to a stiff straight box, it’s more like a cloth basket. Works fine, but doesn’t look as neat on my shelf as I had hoped it would.Very sturdy. Was smaller than expectedBasket looks great BUT I mistakenly thought it would stay up as a gift basket. It has no wire to hold the basket upright . So it collapses easy and needed to be carried carefully so that the contents would niot spill out.These are beautiful! They are well made and fit perfectly on the bottom shelf of my coffee table. I use them to store my blanket throws. The color seems more brownish than black and gray, but they actually look perfect in my living room. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I love that the top edges has some type of metal framing which makes them so sturdy. I highly recommend!!Love this!! Probably grabbing another! Looks as pictured. Good for books and magazines. I used it for some books and other odds and ends while staying temporarily at my mom's
