Twenty-one inches wide is the size of basket that sits at the end of a sofa, under a console table, or on a shelf without dominating anything. Larger baskets are more efficient per square foot of floor but they become furniture, and a basket that has become furniture is one you stop moving. This one holds 17.2 Gal at 21.9 in wide by 13.4 in deep and 13.4 in high, which is a season of throws, a child's toys, or the things that live in a living room and need putting away each evening. The lid means none of it is visible once the room is tidy. The weave is PP plastic rattan over a metal frame, which gives the texture of a natural basket without real rattan's habit of drying out and splitting indoors. The frame keeps it square rather than bulging as it fills. A polycotton liner protects the contents from the weave. Overall static capacity is 44 lb and the basket weighs 5.3 lb, light enough to carry loaded from one room to another with the built-in handles.
21.9 in Does Not Dominate: Larger baskets become furniture, and a basket that has become furniture is one you stop bothering to move.
17.2 Gal Under a Lid: A season of throws, a child's toys, or the things that need putting away each evening, all out of sight when closed.
Metal Frame Inside the Weave: The basket stays square rather than bulging as it fills, which keeps it sliding under a console table.
Plastic Rattan Indoors: The texture of a natural basket without real rattan's habit of drying out, splitting, and shedding fibres.
5.3 lb With Handles: Light enough to carry loaded from one room to another, which is the whole point of a basket over a chest.
