This is fantastic! Yeah, it's basically just storage, but no seriously, this is absolutely amazing quality. Beautifully made and I'm shocked that it is so reasonably priced given the quality, it is more like a work of art. The weaving is very heavy and solid and the basket very sturdy. I've been to plenty of stores looking for storage solutions to try to get my house looking a bit more orderly because it's been looking hopelessly messy of late. I'm not kidding when I say I haven't seen anything in the ballpark of this price that is of similar quality. Also, this is quite a unique piece, which is why given the quality, it feels more along the lines of a work of art, it feels like it was handmade with care.I basically thought I'd try this out because of it's size, when comparing against other stuff, it had appreciably more volume for anything else I found and would still fit between the living room and dining room where I need to put it to store things. Well, it really is huge and looks exactly as pictured. I've already got it in use and it really does fit a ton of stuff. Also, because it is so big, depending on your use, there is plenty of room to not have this piled high with stuff if you're trying to keep a bit more of an orderly look. I have like 2-3 layers of nonsense in this filling out the circle and from across the room, you can't tell there's as much in it as there is, if that makes sense. So even though this is an open top, it is by far the most clean looking open top basket I own because of the depth. Still cleaning up the house, only done with a few rooms down in my declutter phase, but I'm definitely considering buying another one of these for the den or guest bedroom.Quick Tip on the getting basket to hold it's shape- If you are not going to fill the thing to overflowing, it's going to be a good idea to let this sit for about two days with stuff in it to get the shape to take hold. I just put a large file box inside of it that filled most of the bottom for 2 days and that did the trick even though it didn't reach the very top of this woven basket nor did it fill the entire volume. And it also made it easier to fill with stuff too since I wasn't certain of the order I wanted to have things and I didn't have to keep straightening the falling edges the way I did on the day it first arrived.
