Hours of Entertainment!
I bought this hamper to hold dirty laundry; it works great and is very lightweight, making it easy to carry the laundry to the washer. However, it's so much better than just a laundry hamper; it's the best cat toy ever in the existence of cat toys! The minute this thing is empty, my three cats converge and get inside the thing, sit, lay in it, and drag it around the house. They never seem to tire of it; I have to urge them to play elsewhere so that it can be used for its intended purpose. So, if you have laundry, a cat, or both, you must buy this laundry hamper!

Trust the 1 star reviews - Broke after 2nd use
I will preface this review by saying I don't leave negatives unless I really think a product is junk....with that said, the handle broke after the second use. This hamper was bought to replace one of the same brand, same style but different model number. We use this hamper to carry laundry to a basement washer and dryer and the first one lasted 2.5 years until the wire started to pop out. I feel like that is a good lifespan for a $10 hamper and I was happy to buy a replacement. The replacement lasted less than a week!! The handle broke off upon 2nd use. I'm shocked that there are so many good reviews for this product, I'm not sure if I received a dud or not but I'm hesitant to find out by buying another one since the company failed to respond to my email when I contacted them. I do not recommend this product.

Nice bag, frustrating design…
We use this basic laundry hamper in our travel trailer to keep everyone’s dirty laundry in one place. We like that it’s made of nylon/mesh as we keep it in the shower and occasionally the bottom gets damp (it dries quickly). The design error is with the wire that holds the bag upright and more specifically the thin nylon ‘pocket’ that the wire is looped through. When you pick up or move the bag when it’s full and heavy, you put pressure on the top area of the bag where the wire ends and after just a short time the wire pokes through the thin nylon and that’s basically the end of the bag. You could sew that spot in the nylon I suppose to keep the wire from popping out again, but really that spot should have some kind of reinforced sewing or a rubber cap on the wire or something to keep the pokey end of the wire from tearing through the thin nylon. Nice bag but frustrating design.

Like the Design; Should be Sturdier
--- APPEARANCE ---I've had this same style of hamper for a few years now, and don't really want to buy a different one because I like how this one looks. It's plain and compact, so it can fit well in somewhat smaller spaces in a bedroom. Conveniently, one full hamper is equivalent to one full load in a normal washing machine.Rating: 4/5--- USAGE ---This hamper is super-easy to fold up and pop up. All you have to do is push the two ends together, and then there is a loop and button on either side to hold it together. Very quick and simple to figure out, and very compact when folded. Handles make carrying convenient (when intact).Rating: 5/5--- DURABILITY ---This is an important factor, and this is where this hamper may disappoint you. I've owned two so far; my first one is still intact and perfectly usable besides some exposed wiring, but the handles on my second one broke on the first use. The hamper was close to full but not quite, and it was not too heavy. This was a major disappointment, since the first one was able to withstand being over-filled. I can still use it since the rest seems sturdy, I just don't have the convenience of using the handles. Overall, you should be able to use this hamper for a while, you just might lose the handles along the way.Rating: 2/5Overall Rating: 3/5(I have lowered my overall rating due to the most recent experience purchasing this product)

Doing the 'laundry hug' method of carrying it (wrapping your arms around it like you're giving it a hug) works much better
Pros:-It's a little more durable than the other ultra-cheap pop-up hampers on Amazon. The others tend to start ripping slowly after only a few uses, but so far his one's held up for me after a few months with no visible tears or damage.-It's a large hamper, so you can hold a lot more clothes than the other cheap rectangular hampers.Update: Apparently not as durable as I originally thought. After about 6 months, the metal in the bottom popped through the fabric on the bottom, rendering the whole thing pretty useless. Spend a little more and get something better.Cons:-Surprisingly awkward to carry with the handles. Holding the handles near your shoulder, the sides of the hamper dig into your sides while carrying. Doing the 'laundry hug' method of carrying it (wrapping your arms around it like you're giving it a hug) works much better.-Doesn't stay folded down without clipping it down using the little plastic hold-down pieces. I like to fold it down when leaving it in the laundry room (shared laundry room), so needing to clip it down every time is a few more seconds of annoyance for me. Not a huge deal, but it's worth noting.-The bottom ripped after about 6 months, so it's really not as durable as it seemed after a few months. The mesh on the sides held up fine, but that's not really useful when the bottom frame is falling apart. In this case, you get what you pay for- a cheap product.Overall, it's a large hamper at a very low cost, but it's cheap and will probably fall apart on you. Skip this one, and find something better.

Great Large Laundry Hampers
I bought these for my daughter's room for her stuffed animals and they are Perfect for what I wanted them for. They are big enough to fit a ton of toys and if I were using it for laundry it would probably fit 2 loads worth into it. My daughter is pretty tough on stuff and they have held up really well, no rips or damage yet.

Looks great but not very durable.
Unfortunately it isn’t very durable ... mine has torn already around the rim. It only holds dirty laundry.

Handle ripped on the first laundry load.
I’m not usually a complainer - but the handle ripped on the first use...so had to mention this. Wasn’t even heavy clothes. Cheaply made handles. It’s not very wide either. One star.Got 2 of these. Both handles on the second one ripped too. The basket was on half full of basic clothes.

Ridiculously sturdy
I've had this hamper for almost 4 years at the time of writing this review. I've overloaded it countless times when I don't wanna do laundry where I've packed it to the top and the hamper looks like a sausage, then manhandled the poor thing down a few flights of stairs and across the hallway to the laundry room. Also stuffed clothes in hangers in it while moving. Got a few holes here and there from my nails clawing in, and the frame is seeing some wear, but it's endured quite a bit of abuse.

Good quality product
The produced arrived on time as promised by the seller. It is in brand new condition. I have the washing machine in the basement so I carry a full load in it to the basement and so far have not had any issues.I am also extra careful when using it,I don't over load it or anything because I read other reviews where people said the handles broke after a few uses.It's doing the job and is holding pretty well since I got it. Would definitely recommend this product.Only thing.Check shipping charges before purchasing. I wasn't aware as it didn't show on the final check out screeen and ended up paying more which was annoying. But make sure you check the shipping charges.Other than that..product quality is good.

You get what you pay for
This product lasted me a year before the wire began to poke through the fabric. It's been a year and a half in the present and the thing is collapsing upon itself. It is a decent product but in regards to long term use don't expect much.
