I bought this basket because I wanted a place to keep all of my sewing supplies for small projects and mending the size isn't too bad and can hold quite a bit of supplies (with no room left for the projects) but the manufacturing quality was very poor
* the bottom/side of the basket was smashed in a bit (probably an issue just with mine, but it revealed how poorly constructed the basket is)
* the bottom is glued to the basket, and doesn't seem like it would hold much weight
* there are staples used to put the basket together that are sticking up
* the inner tray is a cheap plastic
* the notions included with the basket are a VERY poor quality (but I did not buy the basket for the notions, so I won't comment on them beyond this statement)
* the ruffle around the bottom (which had the potential of being useful to hold little instructions or various notions) is just a glued on ruffle that cannot be used as a pocket
* the lid does not stay open very well (hinges even look cheap)
My daughter loved the idea of a sewing basket and asked for one for her birthday, since she wanted a blue one and I could not find a blue one on Amazon, I went to a local Joann's store to see if they had any not only did they have some blue ones, they were much better made the ones they carried were Dritz St. Jane (which I have seen here on Amazon, but didn't pursue because most of them said you pretty much get whatever color they send you) when I saw that my local store had a 40% off sale on their sewing baskets, I not only bought her one, but also bought a replacement for myself not sure what I'll use this one for maybe a darning specific box that just holds my darning supplies for socks
This basket is okay (thus the 3 star-rating) maybe good as a starter basket for a little girl, but don't expect it to hold up very long to play
