3.0 out of 5 stars good but shrinks, September 27, 2004

this is a nice hamper, but it does shrink if you follow directions. you should only wash in cold water and don't put it in the dryer. the company is great, though. if you contact them, they will send you new fabric free if it shrinks..

3.0 out of 5 stars Warning: This product shrinks when washed!, June 21, 2004

I originally bought this hamper in blue. Of the three stars I have given this hamper, 1 star is for the attractive design and 2 stars are for the really great mesh bag, which does make transporting baby's dirty laundry to the washing machine very easy, but I must let you know that this hamper shrinks when washed! The washing instructions say it is machine washable and it is attached to the wooden frame by velcro so that it can come off for cleaning. I followed the specific instructions on the label, but when it came out of the dryer it was two inches shorter and would not fit on the wooden frame. Not only that but the fabric was completely worn out.

In spite of this, I have ordered another one (this time in pink), because I really love the look and size of this hamper. I guess I will just have to be more careful about keeping it clean, and I'll hand wash it next time around.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't wash the cover of this hamper!!!, May 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Green Chambray Folding Hamper (Baby Product)

I loved this hamper at first, but then my husband managed to get a stain on the cover of this hamper. So I, of course, decided to wash it. I washed it in the gentle cycle on cold wash and rinse and tumble dried it on low heat just as the directions stated and it shrunk so badly that I can't even fit it on the stand anymore. Not only that, but the seams all came loose, the velcro is falling off and one of the buttons fell off. I'm terribly disappointed because I got this as a shower gift and I have no receipt so Babies R Us will not let me exchange it. I'm not saying don't buy it, just don't wash it!
