There's a lot that goes into having a stocked closet or dresser — not least of all which is sorting your dirty laundry. For individuals who have been struggling with the feat of keeping dirty, bulky towels separate from their clothes, there's a chic laundry basket upgrade that makes this seamless: The SETVSON Rattan Storage Basket with Lid, available on Amazon, eliminates laundry sorting issues with two separate compartments.

Available in a number of sizes, this article covers the 17.2-gallon size, which retails for $50.99. This product is designed with busy homes in mind, with a dual-lid system and a removable liner that can be washed periodically. There is also an undivided liner insert if sorting towels from clothes isn't important to you. This size of the basket measures 22 inches long by 13 inches wide by nearly 14 inches deep, so it's small enough to tuck away into a corner of your bathroom. Its two-sided system may also be useful for sorting light from dark laundry, or even separating your kids' dirty clothes from your own.

At the time of writing, customers had given the product a 4.6-star average from nearly 700 reviews. The product receives high marks for its appearance, as well as its capacity and easy assembly. One 5-star review on Amazon's website states, "This storage basket is the perfect fit for my bathroom. It holds all of my towels and makes my bathroom much more organized."

Beyond simply serving as a place to store your dirty laundry until washing day, this basket comes with a few benefits that are worth exploring. While traditional rattan may struggle with living in a humid setting — like a damp bathroom — and containing damp laundry every day, this basket is crafted from PE rattan, making it easy to incorporate the rattan trend thanks to its versatile and sturdy materials. In order to keep the basket looking its best for as long as possible, you'll want to periodically wipe down the rattan surfaces with a cloth to remove dust and debris. For a deeper clean, you can lightly scrub it with a damp cloth and some mild cleaner to remove anything else.

There are also stylistic perks to this product. Rattan is well-loved by individuals who are drawn to nature-inspired materials, making this basket ideal for spaces with biophilic design themes. Individuals who are trying to successfully implement natural-looking products into their space will have the best luck with the light khaki, natural, or brown versions of the basket, which look the most organic. If you're still hunting for the perfect laundry basket, here are 25 stylish options to consider for your home.

Beyond using this basket in the bathroom as a hamper, it can also be repurposed in any number of settings around the house. Many customers state that they successfully turned it into a shoe basket to corral piles of footwear, and others say that it is the ideal home for their children's stuffed animal collections. Another reviewer claims that it replaced their husband's CPAP supplies, concealing unsightly cords and electronics — yet another way to bring visual harmony to living spaces in the home.
