I have this cheap and cheerful laundry basket from Argos. It worked fine until a couple of months ago when the wood split, and wrapping elastic bands around it no longer works. Now I could just buy a new one. Maybe a metal one would be nicer. But I'm me, and have never been too good at this "doing logical things" business. I have monitors covered in sticky-backed-plastic for goodness' sake. What did you expect of me?
So I bought 3 metres of 15mm copper pipe, and some 90 degree angles, and cobbled this monstrosity together. Yes it cost far more than a nice wickerwork one, but it doesn't take up any more space than the old one. And I buildt it myself. Which is the point really.
I think I need about another metre of pipe and some T-junctions at the front to increase the stability a little, but I'm not unhappy. Especially as it hasn't fallen over yet.
