small vintage hamper (Riverdale)

This is a bit of an ugly duckling but with some sanding and a fresh coat of paint it could be a great side table, on a verandah maybe? 15 inches high, 18 inches wide, 10 inches deep. The wooden lid still shows traces of my sister's decoupage efforts back in 1950s - magazine clippings of Judy Garland et al plus a handful of sequins.
