Love it! I am such a sucker for a good basket to stash some kids stuff. Here are some of the ones that I use:

When I was teaching in a Reggio Emilia classroom, another teacher showed me these baskets:

They're VERY durable, yet they don't look too childish.
I JUST purchased sale land's end canvas bags. I was tempted to go with some really cool coffee bean upcycled bags I found but for the same price I got the ever sturdy and always vaguely preppy stylish (esp here in New England) canvas bag (and a clearance black turtleneck).
These also have ZIPPERS! So I get an extra ten seconds and an audible warning that all the legos are about to be dumped all over the living room...
The baskets in that last picture look a lot like a woven basket collection from West Elm. I just bought their console baskets for $24 each (gotta love Christmas gift cards!).

Ten Thousand Villages also has a nice, affordable basket selection: http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/products/baskets?limit=all
anyone know of a site where the baskets are sorted by sizes? I need new ones to fit under my coffee table and find the right size has proved difficult
