Household Essentials ML-5569 Willow Wicker Laundry Basket with Handles and Liner | Natural Brown

This basket is a good item BUT this item is advertised at £38.98 which turned into £45.55 plus £12.62 for shipping and then Fedex added £12 advancement fee to pay the £8.37 tax.This made the item a whopping £78.54

the inside of the basket was rough and pieces were broken would have ended up catching on clothes. returned with no issues

When this product arrived the first thing I noticed was that there was dirt on the lining. Upon further inspection I noticed there were actually small insect cocoons!!! A few on the lining and some on the bottom and sides of the basket - probably 12-15 total. The lining all had a tear in the seam. I had to debug this basket! Very disappointed.

Received basket. It was in terrible shape. the protective plastic around the basket looked chewed up and the basket had areas where the stain had rubbed off and the weave was shredded. I'm planning to keep the basket because its a hassle to return it. Will try to touch up the multitude of places that have no stain. The weave is also sparse, you can see the white through the spaces of the rows of weave. It would be too small to use as a laundry basket, however I'm planning to use it as a blanket storage bin. Poor packaging and poor visual appeal due to damage.

It is very flimsy. Not aure how long it will last.
