Stair Baskets for Easy Organization

Let’s face it, we all put things on the stairs that we plan to carry up later. And then, most of us end up walking right past those things 27 times before they end up falling down the stairs, making a mess, and being even more forgotten about. Stair baskets offer a great way to organize all the things you want to take upstairs with you and a safe place to forget about them for a bit. Here are some of our favorite stair baskets for you.

What to Consider When Purchasing Stair Baskets

Sure, they might all seem the same, but there are a few things that set stair baskets apart:

• Handles: Handles are great if you want to carry the entire basket upstairs with you to then empty.
• Material: Soft material will be gentler on wooden stairs, while harder material can be sturdier on carpeted stairs.
• Organizational Inserts: These will keep certain things separate and organized within the basket if you want to separate items based on where they belong upstairs.
