I love the rope handle on these bins. It gives it more variety compared to the primary one-color storage bins. My only issue with these rope handles is the way they are secured at the ends. They are held together by some tape, but once the tape comes off, the rope begins to unravel, and of course, I cannot braid it back to how it originally came. So if you have little ones who will take the tape off, maybe secure it with some more clear tape. These bins are durable and provide more contrast in our playroom in the sea of navy blue bins!
