Abstract: A folding basket having pivotable sides allowing the basket to attain and sustain a number of configurations. A platform providing support for items held within the basket has upper and lower pivotable sides connected at its perimeter. Likewise, a rim allowing articles to pass through it into the basket's interior has upper and lower pivotable sides connected at its perimeter. The upper platform side is pivotably connected to the lower rim side. The basket so constructed is completely collapsible, yet when unfolded, can provide a basket with a large payload.
