Often times, marketing photos can be deceiving. When I saw the images for the basket, I had something different in my mind than what I received, but it turned out to be the perfect size and I don't have any complaints. To be fair, the dimensions are shown on one of them, but I was expecting something around 10 inches tall and wide. As you can see in my photos, it's pretty compact, but it holds a lot of balls. I don't remember the exact amount, but I'd say it's around 40, which is more than enough for practicing in the backyard.Upon my first look, I thought it was going to be the cheap dollar store laundry basket plastic, but it's far from that. It's actually very sturdy and well-made and even the handle is riveted on and not once out of several weeks of daily use have, I had any issues or doubts that it would last a very long time. I would even say it's on par or better with the metal baskets since these have a slight flex to them. I'm not sure about the UV protection yet or fading, but I should have an update in a few weeks since I keep the basket outside with my setup.
