I saw something in the reviews about screws in the bottom of the baskets. Do they make it difficult to take the baskets out?

I didn't have screws in the bottom on the baskets. The shelf for the top baskets don't have anything to hold up the back part of the shelf so if you put heavy stuff in them they sag towards the back. Not sure if its suppose to be that way or if i missed something. But besides that the shelf itself is pretty sturdy and good quality.

My baskets didn't have any screws in them, they just kinda fold out and then you put the bottom in and done. They just slide in and out very easy.

Somewhat easy to take on and off. There are two open-faced hooks on the top, and if I recall correctly (It's on my fiance's bike) there is a bungee cord strap and hook on the bottom. The Bungee cord can be a bit hard depending on where the baskets fit on your rack (that is if I'm recalling correctly). We don't actually take them on and off. We zip tied them on to make it difficult to remove when at the store. The bike is inside any other time.

Where the basket weave wires fold over the top frame, I suppose they could catch on something stored next to the basket that would be pulled out. I am using it as a freezer basket, so I have not experienced that. For my purpose, I am very happy with the quality and utility.

yes...bottom fastening screws are hard to get to because of caging....have long screw driver. (maybe corrected this problem by now..had mine for about 5 yrs.)

I've had several of these type of makers. I've never had a problem removing the basket. I usually wait til it is cool and use my finger. Are you perhaps asking about the gasket?

It was a pain. I called the company and they told me the screws would go into the plastic easily but they didn't. We ended up using a drill to start the holes and bought longer screws. Despite the difficulty assembling it, it looks nice and I put it onto of another raised bed that rabbits were able to get into and it has kept the rabbits out of my vegetables!

They face down. I attached them to the small clips that hold together the two triangles that make up the top and bottom portions of the basket. It is more secure this way. However, I did not read the instructions, just so you know.

The basket can be fastened tightly. In fact, it requires a moderate amount of hand strength to close it and fasten it with the hook.The basket might rattle if it were not mounted well onto the rack. See my recommendation to use cable clamps in lieu of the included mounting hardware.

Yes. I will tell you that if I had it to do all over again, I would not order these baskets. The ones I got are too brittle. There are better baskets out there.

In my experience, the drawers stay in very well. I haven't had any problem with them slipping out accidentally. And, while the wheels are removable, you would probably want to put something else there for stability.

The rear basket doesn't come off at all, but I tried taking it up a few stairs and it works just fine, and the BIG basket is Wonderful, because I was able to fit 4 cases of soft drinks in bottom of cart, and then set everything else on top of that, and I still had the back part of the basket to put my Bread, Eggs, Paper towels etc. in, and I did it all in ONE TRIP!

The bottom of this basket is smaller than the top so they will nest a bit and I don't think that is what you are looking for.

They slide OK - for it to be steady, best to have them supported with screws to whatever they rest on - otherwise the contents might make the basket tip over.

Yes, but it's not blatantly obvious that the basket is removable to passers by. I never take mine off and it's lasted just fine.

Yes, the screws come down from the inside of the cabinet. Just unscrew them.

the baskets sit inside each other when not hanging. they do not "collapse" and get smaller. the chain is fine for strength however they constantly get tangled when hanging and the basket gets lopsided. i recommend a basket that the chains are connected permanently to a connector to avoid this. It is the connector that gets twisted and makes the chain longer or shorter when removing and adding items. Right now I have 3 potatoes, 2 dozen eggs in 1 basket and shows no giving. I used a plant hook 6" from Dollar Store and screwed it in wall and it works best. Ceiling doesn't work.

The sides and the dividers of the basket are open, (just one horizontal wire) so unless you take your time and place each utensil in the basket, they slip down - - you can't just rinse and drop them in. They don't slip completely out of the basket, but they end up laying diagonally in the basket. That being said, the rack is great and I would purchase it again.
