We needed a handsome, eco-friendly hamper that would blend in well in an upstairs hallway, where the floors are dark cherrywood. This hamper does the job. The only thing I would change is the light-colored liner, for two reasons: 1) The natural muslin liner shows through the carry handles on the hamper, detracting from the beautiful finish; 2) the liner is not washable, apparently because it would shrink. I’ll wash it anyway when it needs it. If it shrinks, I’ll make a new one from a darker fabric that will blend in well with the hamper.

The hamper was quite easy to assemble, requiring no tools. We can easily grab the liner by its two post handles and carry to the laundry room when full.
