This is a very high-quality piece made out of heavy steel wire, with great welds and zinc plating. It looks very sturdy and should support plenty of weight. It's also made in the USA, which is another bonus. However, this basket will require some time and effort effort to mount on most mountain bikes. If I didn't have a nice collection of fasteners, a power drill, and the tools required to cut bolts to size I probably would not have been able to mount this on my bike. It doesn't just bolt on and you shouldn't expect it to. I'm guessing it would work much better if you had the old-school cruiser style bike with fenders and chrome.
This is a quality product, but you might have to use some ingenuity when it comes to getting it on your bike.

i got these baskets off craigslist but these are exactly what i have, with all the same parts.
The biggest issue for me was successfully installing the baskets onto my bike. maybe if i wasn't just a regular ol commuter but a bike tech, or superman, i'd be able to get them on. i have an 18.5" Jamis commuter. the main problem is not the "legs" that attach near the wheel, but attaching the parts at the bottom of the seatpost. it has so far been impossible because once attached, the attachment prevents the back brakes from functioning. in the process of trying to attach, i've scratched up some paint on my bike.
i went to a local bike shop and someone there thankfully devised a solution for $5. i love the baskets!
thus, while i recommend the baskets, you should know that depending on your bike, you might run into a little trouble installing

The pictures don't do the basket justice. I was a little worried about the quality when I ordered it, but while reading various bike blogs the name 'Wald' kept coming up always attached to assurances of quality. The images didn't reassure me and the price made me uncertain but I purchased the basket anyway and I'm very glad that I did.
The box arrived pretty banged up with poor packaging but the baskets were in top condition. My husband and I installed them on my Huffy cranbrook cruiser with only a little bit of difficulty on the chain side. Eventually I stuck the nut a piece of tape and held it in place while my husband got the screw aligned and tightened it up. We had to take the seat off to install the brackets that attach to the back of the bike but that was mostly because of some awkward angles and the fact we didn't have any needle nosed pliers, just a pair of blunt noses and a flat head screwdriver.
A word of caution: if you have painted fenders lay a towel over them before you start installing the baskets. My fenders are now scuffed up from the metal rubbing against the paint as we shifted the baskets around for the best fit. Doesn't rate detracting a star as it was our own fault for lack of foresight.
Once installed the baskets are quite solid, much more so than I thought they would be. I would pay $30 again for these baskets I'm quite happy with them. If the Wald rack (sans baskets) is the same quality as the ones I bought I would be perfectly confident that a friend could hop onto the back for me to pedal around in the dutch style.
