These laundry hampers are fantastic. I am actually using them to store miscellaneous items, including some knitted sweater pillows that I ordered. After looking at quite a number of different laundry hampers I decided that these were the best ones for the price. They're quite tall, and even though they don't have a lid, they still work beautifully because I can just put a piece of plastic over the top or a piece of tissue paper to keep the dust out. The price is fantastic! My only kaun is that the hamper wasn't available in different colors. I would have liked a different color.
