A stacking basket assembly utilizing a simplified basket construction. Each basket has a nestable base that is constructed of an array of interconnected wires into front, bottom and rear walls to provide strength, rigidity, and interlocking capabilities. Each of the baskets has removable end walls with camming ears that interlockingly and securely engage the base of the basket with minimal initial force. The end walls snap-fit into the base of the basket in a wedging action for improved stacking interlock and to avoid inadvertent disengagement.
