The hamper itself appears to be well-constructed; however, there is only a slit in the top for putting clothes in and taking them out so you cannot use the unit to return the clothes back to the room once they are laundered and folded. The other collapsible hampers I have are either open topped or have a zipper around the top so access to the laundry is much easier. Emptying this hamper is more time consuming, too, as I have to pull a piece out at a time rather than just dumping it all out to sort. So... I will have to find a different hamper. Unfortunately, the design is cute and my daughter really likes it so I suspect she will be resistant to making that change.Awesome hamper! I bought two (one for lights and one for darks)and they perfectly match the decor in my home. The wire that supports them is much more durable that previous pop-up hampers I've purchased in the past. I also like that this hamper has two little velcro straps on it's sides to keep it folded down for storage. My husband and I are on the fence about the flaps on the top though. They are great since our hampers are out and about in the room...so you can't see down into them, and then keep everything from falling out should it tip over for any reason...but it makes it hard to get bigger items in and out of it (like towels and sweaters). That aside it is a great hamper for the money!I love the chocolate color of this hamper, and I love that it's collapsible, but I was very disappointed when one of the wires on the bottom ring broke out through the fabric after being used for just a few days. Hopefully this one is just a dud, because I bought two of them and hope the other one lasts a lot longer. In addition to the poor quality of this one, an important feature that I'm not happy with is the top. It is mostly covered by fabric with a rather narrow opening to put in and take out the clothes. I would prefer to be able to toss clothes in from a distance and easily dump them into the washing machine. Unfortunately, with this hamper you have to work harder to put in and take out the laundry. It isn't apparent from the photograph how narrow the opening is on top, and the description as "easy access" isn't accurate in my experience.I like the design of this hamper, which is why I purchased it. It is very sturdy, which I like as well. The only negative thing about it is the top does not open very much and the top panels are not removable so it can be difficult to put items in and take them out.I like how it pops up and everything, but the hole at the top that you take clothes out of and put in is a bit narrow (probably to prevent things from falling out, but its annoying to take a lot of things out at the same time.Nice little hamper. So far seems to hold up pretty well. My daughter likes it.From the picture it looked like there was a decent sized opening at the top... and that the size of the hamper was relatively large. The opening, in fact, is hardly an opening at all. It's very difficult to put clothes inside of it as there is about 2 inches in the center to put clothes through. It also does not hold very many clothes, maybe 1 large load. I was looking to replace a great one that I got almost 10 years ago and was incredibly disappointed with this product. I would rather keep my tatty old one with wires coming out from the seams.Purchased this hamper for my daughter's bedroom. She absolutely loves it. She is into the zebra theme at the moment. It is sturdy and keeps its shape. Easy to pick up and take to the laundry room. I definitely would recommend this hamper.Happy with purchase, only thing I wish is that the top opened right up with a zipper.There is an overlapping slot on the top to drop clothes through, but they have to come out the same small slot.Really good product. Nice material. I agree with another poster, the slit on top is a little annoying and weird. I would probably cut it off.Absolutely love it!!! Shipping was very quick and the product is worth it! The quality looks well made, durable and most of all looks fab!works well however has a cover with a slit in it makes placing clothes in it difficult I just cut the cover offGot this to hold stuffed animals in our sons room. Very sturdy and keeps everything nicely organized.
