I am going to make a confession. I have bought several genuine Amish baskets and several of these. Of course, the styles and materials differ some, so, it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, but, Basket Lady baskets are sturdier and, for instance, if you get more than one laundry basket and stack them, they hold up. I purchased several genuine Amish laundry baskets and they start kind of chipping and peeling when I stack them. It's hard to explain, but, they are clearly not meant to be stacked, which seems crazy to me. Basket Lady baskets last forever and are handsome. I've never thrown out a Basket Lady basket. If I no longer have a use for one, I put it in storage until I do or give it to a lucky friend. This particular basket is fantastic because you can re-use your plastic grocery bags in it, or, you can still use a small garbage bag if that's all you have. These are not too big nor too small. They are the perfect size for most rooms in my house. They are perfect. There. I said it.

Love the baskets! They are perfect!

It fulfills all the expectations one should have for a waste basket plus a very important one - my dogs don't go into it to retrieve and tear the contents any more! We figured out it's probably the handles sticking up that has them spooked. Who cares, it works! THANKS.
