Wald baskets are okay, but IMO they are only acceptably stable when 
modified or used on a solid platform, discarding the stock struts they come 
with.  And please, please, don't fasten a Wald basket to a rack with zip 
ties. I know it can work for awhile and many people do it but zip ties 
inevitably snap from repeated stress.  The best way to secure a Wald, IMO, 
is to sandwich the basket and rack between large fender washers or an 
aluminum sheet/plate. I have a largish Wald on my Bike Friday Haul-a-Day. 
It's bolted to the stock tubular steel rack platform. The platform is made 
from aluminum diamond tread plate bolted to a tubular "U" shaped rack. 
I removed the plate and reinstalled it on top of the Wald, essentially 
sandwiching the Wald in place between the rack frame and the platform. It's 
held in place by 4 M6 bolts. It's held up really well this way.
