If I wanted to use this for storing mittens, hats, scarves, etc. - is the wicker smooth or will it snag knit items like that? Thanks in advance.

It might snag. I just ran my hand along the inside of mine and there are some places at the ends where the wicker isn't "tucked in" if that makes sense. Perhaps an old pillowcase or something similar cut to size and attached to the inside would make it more suitable for your needs.

Mine has many loose ends that stick out. The wicker? Is fairly soft however. It's up to you, but me personally I wouldn't want to take the chance of ruining my knitted things.

Knits could get snagged in it. I Would definitely look at a different type of enclosed basket

Yes, it will definitely snag knits. I use mine for files but when wearing anything knit (small or large gauge) like a long sweater coat, it catches when I'm brushing past. It is where the rope like material joins to another pieces there are knots to join the pieces and they stick out randomly all over. I would not advise to use this to store anything that can get pulls in it.

We've put four pairs if jeans on it as well as four of my blouses with no problem. We do hang them so the weight is evenly distributed though. We use the thin huggable hangers instead of wooden or plastic ones as they aren't as heavy and fit nicely in the slots. I also put my damp coat on there to dry and drape socks over the rails. No problems. Just remember to distribute the weight evenly! Hope this helps.

It holds ALL scarves. Thin (summer/spring) and heavy winter scarves. You can place several of the thin ones in one circle. Place them the correct way with the scarves hanging to the back so you can see them all from the front. It's great!

Well, I think you might get a bit chilled trying to cover yourself with this item. However, if you just want to store a comforter...it should work well:)

I think so. I use it for children's coats. if it can hold coats I would assume it would hold stockings. If you put heavy stuff in your stockings then you would want to make sure you put it up with anchor bolts. It is a cute piece and as an almost art feel.

I think you could organize hosiery/pantyhose. There is nothing that would snag them. I use them for sheer scarves and have never had a problem like I had with metal organizers.

I would say so given its on a smooth serface. It holds my husband's xl carhart coat with no problems.

Definitely! It's quite sturdy. I hang purses, and hats along with my shoes.

I have wound full skeins of I Love This Yarn, and it winds them perfectly. Even those too small stuff, like say 1/6 of a skein, it does a pretty good job. They're kinda squishy, but they look much better wound! All my friends bring their scraps to wind. It has really worked wonders for organization! Definitely worth the price!

This is almost like solid and I have not had any snag problems at all. The two round bags are very heavy duty. I believe you would like the quality of all pieces.

I'm not sure if you've read complaints on this particular product or if you are speaking of wicker in general?My experience with the Strathwood is good. We had record cold and snow here this winter and it all appears fine.If I had to guess, brittleness would more likely come from being exposed to constant sun and heat. My furniture has always been on a covered porch.

What type of material is the inside lining? Is it water-proof/stain-resistant? Want to use as laundry basket for dishcloths and soiled baby clothes. Not sure how it will hold up to the dampness, mildew-wise. Also, will the small bin be able to hold one load of washing?

I used it for a garage sale and had it full of shirts, dresses, etc. and it was fine. It would not hold a full load of heavy winter coats.

It's sturdy enough to hold wool scarves . For the thinner scarves you can fit 2 or 3 in each opening.

Yes, easily. It holds a lot more than I thought it would. I've got about 25 sweaters in there!

I would say that it's quite smooth on the inside. There's a plastic piece that fits around to form the top opening. That has a few small spots where the plastic isn't quite smooth, but I think those could quickly & easily be sanded down if you felt they might snag something. As far as I know, they've never caused any snagging on any of my clothes.

Hi there. The wicker is coated so I don't think mildew is an issue- it has not been for me. There is not a liner. This could be the only issue if you were planning to keep it for years and years. I've had mine for awhile now and it is still holding up, though the inside is almost a white paper-like material, but I think the breathability makes it so that mildew isn't an issue (or hasn't been for me). Yes, you are correct on the depth and width.
