yeah as i said im pretty sure ours was from k mart (though it was many many many years ago when a lot of yer parents were probably teenagers). and it has a solid bottom and no holes on the side. so over the years ive used it as a bucket, as a seat, as a record holder, as a computer table, as a boot organiser, as a basketball ring... i returned one to my parents a couple years ago, and an old room mate took the other one so it still lives!
