Review on πŸ“¦ DII Decorative Metallic Lurex Storage Basket: Collapsible & Convenient Organizational Solution (Medium - 15x10x12"), Gray by George Thorson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Shimmering, metallic, modern. Gigantic!

I really like these storage bins from DII - they are cute and functional I have several square and round and different sizes This one is bigger than I thought it would be so I can't use it where I need it I intended to make it just as effective, but that's certainly not the manufacturer's fault.I live in a small log cabin, and while some of my decor is rustic, I love to add a modern, fun touch to my home in the Smoky Mountains or add unexpected items.were a bit smaller it was perfect for the closet space I wanted - it's too shiny and modern to put anywhere else.What I really like i st that it's a "metal" look - almost while it's pretty damn shiny it's more of a shimmer than super sparkle, although there is some sparkle and shine - I don't know if a photo will help you find out what I'm trying to convey! DII uses rope handles on all of their storage boxes (at least the ones I have) and sometimes I wish they were a different color, in this case maybe a different colour/texture to be more in line with the shimmery look - although I would . I don't like glitter anymore, but maybe if the rope was black? Still, it looks good and the grips are solid. My "basket" is worth it. I had to fiddle with it a bit - it collapsed so you have to get up and slide it out the sides and bottom. But once I've done it, it stands great and is strong. This basket costs less than $20 and if you go to a store that sells things like this you will find that these baskets are reasonably priced. For this price it is well made. It's lined with fabric and I don't use it for wet stuff so it should work fine. I wouldn't recommend using it for wet clothes, although I have a slightly smaller DII storage bin with cloth in the guest bathroom for guests to put their towels etc. in. If you want a fun, modern, shimmering metallic effect container that will liven up the room, and at a reasonable price, then give it a try.
