Review on Large Grey Cotton Rope Storage Basket With Lid - Multipurpose Hamper For Nursery, Living Room, And Bedroom - Ideal Blanket And Toy Organizer - 16"D X 14"H by Michelle Larsen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It DID regain its shape as the pictures shown!

It of course came folded and creased. I always want stuff can be washed in washer and in dryer cycle if possible. I put it within 2 protection bags(garment bags), and had it in washer with cold water, light soil level, low spin, and delicate cycle (yes laundry detergent, and also a little bit of fabric softener because I felt the "material"/cotton rope was kind of rough). Dry with low heat for several times (the protection bags did not go with it into dryer). I put 2 baskets in washer thinking to balance out the tub while cycle spining (another one is from a different brand and is smaller). However during spinning, it did happen a few times that I had to re-adjust a little in order for it to spin properly, and I knew it will probably do that so I did pay attention.Yes, it came out almost perfect! Regaining its Rounded shape and Holding an almost Perfect Sturdy Circle, even when Empty!Why not 5 stars? There are about 8 stitches already loosened spread out around the entire basket. Maybe because I put it in washer and dryer though all gentle cycles.SO please (1) maybe Reinforce Stitching for Strength.(2) Also, I would like it to have more color options and different sizes. If I find time then I will post the pictures to show it's holding an almost perfect sturdy circle without steam-ironing just like the pictures shown. :)[Btw, the other smaller one from a different brand has been stubborn to stay folded and creased. :( ]

Pros
  • Nursery
Cons
  • The basket has an unpleasant odor
