Without ever buying any, I have acquired a lot of baskets over the years. The one I use for a sewing supplies carry-all is totally round, sturdy, flat bottomed, has a tall fat handle, and is large enough to accommodate everything I need with no crowding or over-lapping. It's also pretty light weight. I particularly like the fact that I don't have to dig around in there to find what I want (searching for something always annoys me).
