Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very happy with these

My wardrobe was a complete disaster so everything could be better! While I really like these fabric baskets, here are some thoughts: 1) Hope you enjoy ironing: I don't, but it's the only way to get those suckers up and running. I put the iron on steam and ironed both the inside and outside (except the bottom) with a kitchen towel to protect the fabric. For some tighter wrinkles, I also had to use the steam button. Then I let them cool completely before filling them. On the "after" picture you can see that I became lazier with my ironing technique. 2) Color: I personally think the color is beautiful. It's somewhere between taupe and grey, with a brown interior. 3) Labeling: Since I installed 9 of these baskets, I needed labels to tell them apart. I just used clothespins and wrote on them with a permanent marker. 4) Volume: I was able to squeeze a large amount of "stuff" into each basket (see image before). Should I have thrown away more than on the way? Probably. Please do not judge me. 5) Height: I noticed that the third set of baskets seems a bit taller than the first two sets, but I may have ironed them. Anyway, it doesn't bother me that much. 6) Bonus Decor: I thought the burlap ribbon tied around the bags was pretty pretty, so I cut each one in three, sealed the ends with a small fray check, and tied bows to the open handles. 7) Stability: I didn't put cardboard on the bottom (although I may change my mind later) and stuffed it with some heavy stuff like shampoo bottles. The baskets aren't that big, so when I pull them off the shelf I just use one hand to support them from underneath. There's also a nice solid frame around the top which is great and helps them hold their shape. 8) Price: I personally think they're worth $7 each. Not sure what you could do better.
