"Suitable as decorative item only" star star_border star_border star_border star_border I purchased this stair basket to place items in, to be eventually carried upstairs inside the basket. Nothing too heavy in terms of contents at any one time - a book, a magazine or two, a toiletry bottle destined for bathroom, that sort of thing.I was disappointed as not long after purchase, I noticed that on one side of the basket, the handle had detached itself from the basket. I managed to push it back into the side of the basket, however I can no longer use the basket to carry things upstairs as it isn't secure. I examined the other, intact, side of the handle, and it does not appear to be glued or even securely knotted or tied to the side of the basket.I therefore cannot recommend this item for purchase, unless as a decorative item only, it does not seem to have been designed with functional use in mind. support_agent A note from the team We'll get the the issue you've had with the faulty Willow Stair Basket resolved as quickly as we can - I'll be in touch shortly.

"Worth buying" star star star star star The size of the basket took me by surprise when I unpacked it from the box - it's bigger than it looks in the picture online, but in a good way. I find it unobtrusive on the stairs and it holds quite a lot of clutter between trips. With a toddler in the house, I seem to spend my days running up and down the stairs with toddler in tow so I welcome any innovation that will save my legs and my patience. As the website says, it's nicely weighted and will stand up even on a level surface. The only downside, is I can feel my favourite jeans getting tight around the waist!
"Excellent de-clutterer" star star star star star Like Christine, I was surprised when I saw the size of this basket (in store) thinking 'this won't fit on my stairs- it's too big' but having seen it first online and deciding that it was exactly what I needed to de-clutter that area where everything is left on entering the house.. I was very pleasantly surprised, as it fits perfectly and it is lovely and deep and holds quite a bit. No more clutter to step over!!!! Would certainly recommend this highly functional basket as when you are ready to go upstairs - you just take it all with you in one go.
"Willow Stair basket" star star star star star When my wife first saw this basket in the catalogue she promised herself that she would buy one but at the time could not afford it but she was lucky enougt to win some Lakeland vouchers in a competition run in conjuction by Lakeland & our local newspaper. The first thing that went on her 'must have list' was this basket and it has proved such a god send. Thank-you for the vouchers and for this wonderful basket. John, West Sussex
"Staircase de-clutterer" star star star star star I have one and find it so useful, I'm buying another one for our attic staircase. The best stairs de-clutterer that money can buy! Thank you.
