This basket was meant to hold a bunch of "junk" items that are exposed with a cabinet. The measurements are accurate and this is just as deep and big as it looks in the picture.The quality is excellent. It isn't too expensive, and I haven't seen anything as clean looking as this one in store, not even at Bed Bath and Beyond. It's a sturdy, well-built piece that adds to the aesthetic of any bedroom. If you want to get to organizing your room but don't like the way those ugly plastic containers look, use these. They come in multiple sizes so you can measure out where you're going to put them in and find the best size basket for you.I recommend this basket because it's sophisticated, cleaning, and does everything it says it'll do. I know it's just a simple basket, but it makes all the difference for decluttering a rom.
