The basket tilts out from the frame rather than lifting off, so laundry drops in without opening a lid and the 9.5 gallon bag inside pulls free when it is full. Above it a metal mesh shelf takes 11 lbs and a wooden shelf 22 lbs, with four S-hooks on the sides for a robe or a laundry bag. The tilt-out unit itself carries 44 lbs. Overall the frame stands 17 x 13 x 37 in and weighs 13 lbs in metal and engineered wood. Narrow enough for a utility corner, tall enough to hold towels above the wash.
