WhitmorRattique Storage Baskets - Berry Blue - (3 Piece Set)

I got the set- these are surprisingly sturdy, and I appreciate the practical sizes. The fixtures (handles) don't look cheap; and the "rattique" feels like a plastic material. The small fits perfectly in my nightstand on that shelf under the drawer that so many nightstands have . The large has been designated as my boyfriend's for housing his keys, wallet, chargers, a change of clothes, and other random items when he visits. The medium I'm using in my kitchen as a holding pen for random things I don't know what to do with yet. These seem super sturdy, and were much better than I had expected based on my other experiences ordering storage containers from Amazon.

Working in IT it's sometimes it's hard to stay organized and keep an office looking professional. This is even more true when you have a shipment of new PCs to setup. I've been using these baskets for several months now, both for holding new cables until they are needed and to organize items that need sent back for repair.Pros: - Sturdy. While I'm sure if you put too much in them they would start to flex, even when putting several Cisco switch power supplies in these to haul to long term storage they didn't flinch. For transporting cables or for storing items for repair (hand scanners, cisco phones, etc) on a shelf they are perfect. - Comfortable hand holds. The skeleton is metal, so the hand holds are metal. When you pick it up it feels solid and there is no movement. There is absolutely no concern that they are going to give or break! - Professional looking. I needed something that would help me stay organized, but look nice in my office for one I have users, vendors, and corporate visitors in. With these I can have what I need in my office, even if that's a ball of cables I need to separate and sort, but it looks much more professional.Cons - These basked do have a slant to the walls, so what fits in the top won't necessarily sit on the bottom. I, personally, like this look compared to straight walls, but it could be annoy some. - I've already managed to scratch one of the metal handles. I'm not sure how. So be weary of when you put anything sharp or metal in the basket as the handles do scratch.If you're trying to figure out what sizes you need, definitely go with this three pack. The largest of the three fits a Cisco 7900 series phone with a little bit of room on the side to spare but will not fit a 14" laptop in the bottom. The smallest one I've photographed with scanners in it, and the middle one I have miscellaneous cords and cables in.

Item: A set of three baskets, in three different sizes, made from woven plastic.Color: 'Java' is an attractive dark brown color. Although I don't own any other color, it appears there is a deeper brown (Espresso) choice from this company.Sizes: Here's the thing to know about these baskets - they're slightly tapered toward the bottom. The measurements listed for the baskets are for the top of the baskets. This is useful when determining if the baskets will fit into a particular area in your home. However, it doesn't help when calculating if something will fit nicely INSIDE the basket.Large: 11.4”L x 14.6”W x 6.5”H. I use this basket to hold loose papers and it works well. An large envelope sized 9.5" X 12.5" will fit exactly flat on the bottom of this basket. Papers that come home from the kids schools also get tossed in here with no problem.Medium: 9.8”L x 13”W x 6”H. A standard sized piece of printer paper (8.5" X 11") will NOT fit flat at the bottom of this basket. Lengthwise (11"), the paper will fit. The width (8.5") of the paper is about half an inch too long.Small: 8.3”L x 11.4”W x 5.5”H. A piece of paper folded to 6" x 9.5" will fit flat on the bottom of this basket.Durability: I lift and pull these baskets with various weighted items inside and they hold up well. The weave is strong and I haven't noticed any sharp ends on any of the baskets.Overall: I heart this set of baskets! I ordered three sets and came back to Amazon and ordered two more. Seriously, this is a no-brainer. These baskets look great either tucked on a shelf or sitting out in the open. Toss a bunch of loose items in one of these and BOOM instant organization. I have some in my pantry, some on my counter top, and one is shoved under an end table in the living room. The three different sizes provides versatility for grouping and organizing different spaces in the home. I purchases each set for under nineteen dollars along with free shipping with prime. I thought that was a deal (but if i'm wrong don't correct me because I'd rather live in ignorant bliss).

These are especially well made baskets. The handle areas are reinforced. They clean up well too. I spray these down in kitchen sink and they dry perfectly well. Oftentimes, a simple wiping off is enough to keep them clean and attractive. Someone commented they were surprised and dissatisfied with the fact these baskets were different sizes. How wonderful that these baskets ARE different sizes! For example, just yesterday, I brought down six bottles of bottled water in the medium basket. They fit perfectly. The large one could be used to corral hair products under the sink or used to corral washcloths. The medium basket is a perfect catch-all for laundry items like those ever-rolling dryer wool balls. Put those chili and salad dressing envelopes together in the smaller basket so they aren't all over the place in your cabinet. Corral all those remote controls or other odds and ends. Another feature is that when not in use, they nest perfectly. These are for the long half, unlike a lot of basket raw materials which can't be wiped down or rinsed quickly. A set all alike might be nice for putting them all in a row across a shelf, but being different sizes is actually for the better as more and more uses become obvious. For me? I prefer the three sizes for their versatility! Nice baskets.

Exactly what I needed! Nice and sturdy too!

very good, look good BUT ITS 3 DIFFERENT SIZES TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT BECAUSE YOULL HAVE TO BUY THE SMALL ONES FROM THE AMERICA AMAZON AND PAY A LOT FOR IT.

These are great for storage and look great , put magazines in them keeps them neat while leaving them out for easy reading.

Very well made and sturdy. My only wish would be that you could order in all same size

Bought some years ago, great baskets
