Laundry baskets! Any recommendations?

I've had trouble with finding one of these that works for what seems like EVER.

Finally think I may have cracked it - Reisenthel

They stock the black in JL, not sure if this website is any good but have ordered one in Aubergine.

Has anyone else got anything by Reisenthel? Is it any use? I think they are Americain.

Other recommendations welcome, for those of us still looking (and I might be if this turns out to be crap!) Smile

I got a brabantia metal one last year with a wooden lid, and sold it on ebay as I hated it so much. So hoping this one turns out to be better as currently there is just a pile of dirty clothes, which cannot continue!

I've just got a simple purple one from Argos that's not very big but it's kept hidden in a cupboard so no one sees it and its never empty unless I can get washing out to dry, but it's never over spilling as I do at least 2 loads a day!

I did have a laundry basket from next a few years ago from next and it was fabby it had 3 compartments darks colours and whites, it taught the kids to separate but when I moved house it was too big to bringHmm

That one from JL just what I have been looking for!

For how many people?

LamaDrama · 28/12/2013 21:00

I got this one from Next £15, its great.

It might be too small for some here

Wow, Next seem to be onto it, I should have checked there first!

I quite like the floral one and they seem to have it in fern as well (like a pale green leaf pattern on white) if you search 'laundry'.

Looks to be almost the same size as the Reisenthel one and half the price

Oh well
Will update when it arrives in terms of quality etc.

Thanks for posting everyone.
I think in terms of people it will just be for the kids, so that's two very dirty boys - I'll have my own smaller one on the other floor for me and the baby.

I think I was having trouble finding something large, nice looking, but also easy to carry - the Brabantia one had no handles, it just had a canvas bag inside, and that had no structure really so once it was stuffed, it was like hoiking a dead body around.

Also the chrome outer shell was very easy to scratch and dent. Pointless.

Oh and come to think of it, the bag inside the Brabantia had no handles either Hmm

What on earth is the point of that?!
