I got these to set in Better Homes and Gardens cube organizer/cubby shelves.They fit well and look really nice in the cubbies and hide what I put inside for neatness.I bought the striped natural and gray, as I wanted a bit of design but nothing bold.These are perfect for what I wanted. A soft pattern but not distracting.They will go well with most any decor when I change things up.The bins arrive flat and have metal bars inside.To set up a bin, pull the bin open and press each bar down to the bottom.The bars support the bin so it does not collapse.Great design!These are not meant for carrying with really heavy items in them.Fine for carrying light items.Fine for heavy items if the bin is left on a flat surface (floor, shelf, desk, etc.).I really, really like these bins and am glad I got two sets!They would be great for a laundry area, hallway, for toys, linens, in cabinets, on floors, in babies' rooms.Soft and pretty and functional organization.I highly recommend.
