Fabulous and Functional!

Large-capacity basket fits three (3) folded twin-sized plush fleece blankets! I bought it because my family loves to be under blankets while watching TV but we didn’t have convenient storage. This gorgeous basket — rich colors, well-crafted — does the job while adding a unique twist to the contemporary aesthetic. High-quality product. Also bought the matching open basket for the fourth blanket. :)
