2.0 out of 5 stars Not the most practical hamper., November 14, 2008

I got this hamper cause I liked the two separate sides for splitting up my clothes, and it looked like it had enough room to hold it all. I should have payed more attention to the dimensions I guess but it is a bit smaller than I expected. Also the tent style posts that you can remove to collapse the hamper are not very secure. They just kind of sit in a small loop of material that loosely folds over them, making it difficult to move the hamper without the posts coming out and the hamper collapsing.

This hamper is not huge, but it's good enough if you're single or a couple without kids who does laundry often. It's really nice looking, so I'd say for the price I'm pretty pleased with it.

I read another reviewer's comments that the poles poke out of the side and the top collapses. Then someone else wrote that the first reviewer simply didn't set it up right. Well, turns out the second guy was either a paid reviewer or hadn't had it long enough to see this collapsing effect. It's annoying, but not the end of the world.

Overall - 3 stars due to the weekly frustration of having to reconstruct it. If the manufacturer would fix this problem, I'd buy a new one for sure. I love it aside from this flaw.

3.0 out of 5 stars It works for one guy, December 20, 2010

I got this and overall it's ok. People have mentioned the size is an issue. I can see that it would be an issue for a family. I'm a single young guy and got into the habit of doing a load or two each weekend. It was big enough to get me through the week, so it works under these conditions.

Other people have mentioned that it sags or falls down. This has never been the case for me. However, what DID happen is the four posts that make up the four corners are too weak. They were hollow plastic, and on the times when I missed doing laundry and overloaded this thing, the weight of my clothes was too much for the plastic to hold up. They started bending and just couldn't handle it.

For $2, I went down to Home Depot and grabbed some 1/4" solid wood cylinders, and now it's quite stable and can take the weight if necessary.

So, it's just ok. It works. It looks nice. But it will only work for one who does laundry at least once a week and may require some cheap modifications to make it more stable.
