Editorial Product Review:Item Description:The Wald 582 sets the standard for ingenuity when it comes to rear baskets. Mounting to the side of almost any rear rack, this nimble basket is the perfect size for packing 1-2 bags of groceries while balancing your load. When not in use, the base of the basket pivots up allowing the side walls to collapse. A simple clamp at the top of the side panels keeps everything secured while the basket is folded up to one inch thick

Excellent craftsmanship--Very Sturdy!
It seems all Wald products are made with a quality, both materials and design, that's rare to find now-a-days. These heavy, rear grocery-bag style baskets will last forever, very well constructed, great coating. My only qualm in recommending these would be the same for all Wald products; they don't seem to be engineered or designed for ease of installation. You really do need to be comfortable with tools and adapting the fittings to your own bicycle design; for example, I had to use a vice and small sledge to re-mold the contour of the bracket affixing the rear platform to the frame portion (where the seat post is inserted). And I needed extra-long, heavy-duty needle-nose pliers, both straight and curved, to hold the brackets which secure the grocery baskets to the rear platform's support rods. If these precautions don't intimidate you, you'll be able to do the installation; if you feel uneasy, allow your bicycle shop or handyman friend help you; the product itself is excellent.

Fantastic!
I use this product almost every day and I still am impressed by its functionality as well as its durability. The only drawback was the position on the cover sheet. "Do not" position the baskets as in the drawing unless you want to shave the skin off of the back of your legs and heels. Make sure you check your "foot travel" before riding after installation. Hence, once that crucial adjustment is made, you're set for life. I'm absolutely sold on this wonderful product.

Great
They work great and were easy to install, a great size and fold away when not needed. It was only difficult to tighten the screws once they were in place.

Best thing for my bike yet.
I installed these yesterday on my bike and used them today and love them. They are perfect for carrying just about anything when commuting and were really easy to install. The advice to set them back a little ways on your carrier is good, otherwise you hit your legs on them. Also the tip to install them loose and then see how they feel when you ride before tightening them is good as well. Overall I think they are perfect for transporting items and are very sturdy.
