This is perfect for my need. My husband & I share it. It holds a large amount of clothes! Before we both used our own basket & that took up too much space in our small bedroom, this way we can both have a place to put our dirty clothes but it doesn't take up as much space as having our own individual baskets. There's been a few weeks, since I've had it that I didn't get to our laundry until it was overflowing and this hamper held up very well. It's extremely durable and well made. Even with it overflowing and crammed with clothes It shows no sign of weakness or strain. The handles make it easy to carry (even overflowing) when lugging to & from the laundry room.I love this hamper & it's just what we needed to save space and add convience to a daunting task.
