Found this company through Shark Tank and LOVED her. These baskets are gorgeous! We purchased the large to be a dirty laundry basket and it holds so much! We can fit up to two and a half weeks of dirty laundry (two people household). The design is perfect for our dark/Gothic home. We're so happy to support a Senegalese-owned business that supports their country. Oh and we have cats that are unfazed by the basket. They love the smell of the grass at first, but get over it and ignore the basket for the most part. Sometimes they try to chew the handles, but they definitely don't destroy the basket the way we thought they would.
