I finally threw out my cheap plastic laundry basket after it cracked and sliced my hand open

Last month I was carrying a full load down the basement stairs in my house in Boise and the bottom corner of my $6 Walmart basket just gave out. The split edge caught my palm and opened a cut that needed 4 stitches at urgent care, which cost me $180 with insurance. I always figured laundry baskets were all the same and just grabbed the cheapest one. After that mess I went and spent $32 on a heavy duty plastic one with a solid molded bottom, and I can feel the difference when it's loaded. Anyone else got a brand that has actually held up for 10 plus years?
