This Brookstone basket is designed as a high-capacity utility tool, measuring 24 inches to accommodate larger loads of laundry. It uses a dual-polymer molding process where the main frame provides rigid support and the walls allow for a collapse down to 3 inches. The handles feature a non-slip grip that is bonded to the frame, which helps provide a more secure hold when moving the basket between rooms.
The wall thickness is measured at 2.2mm, which offers a sturdy feel for daily household tasks. Users can help maintain the integrity of the flexible sections by manually pushing the base out from the inside during setup, rather than snapping it open quickly. This method reduces the pull on the material creases.
While the materials are selected for durability, the flexible sections can be sensitive to sharp objects like belt buckles or underwire. Periodic cleaning of the folding "valleys" is recommended to keep the basket fresh, as lint can occasionally settle in the creases. This model is well-suited for being tucked away in the "dead space" between a washer and dryer.
If you find that a darker color better matches your laundry room aesthetic, the Vendotbi black collapsible basket offers a similar footprint with added features.
