This cloth rope basket is shaped kind of like a juice box, and it fits well in small spaces, such as a small bathroom, or a small bedroom like a dorm room. It flops over and folds almost flat when not in use, which is very convenient for storage, but can be a little frustrating when it is almost empty and you are trying to toss something into the top. it has subdued colors that will match almost any color scheme, and it is more environmentally sound than a plastic basket. It can fit in your car even when your car is pretty full, and it is sturdy, but not super heavy. It is very versatile because it can be used to store toys, bedding, yarn, etc. The walls are strong enough that you could store hard items in it and it wouldn’t rip or tear. It has cutouts on the sides that can be used as a handle. Because it is so versatile, this would be a good gift for any college student, as a housewarming gift, or a storage option for people who do a lot of sewing or work with yarn. It is about the size of a tall kitchen trash bag, and it could be lined with a plastic bag. The rope that it is made of is absorbent, so I don’t think you would want to use this to store anything too muddy, or for food waste. Otherwise, it could be used for just about anything!
