Very pleased with this purchase for the following reasons...the honey shade  and texture of the woven wicker provides  an attractive, organic  quality to any room,  The matching set allows me to place them in the same room without  feeling that  they  will stand out in a BAD way. Not all hampers have lids . The easy to lift lids on these hampers  provide a more formal look and make them easier to use for storage of multiple things in rooms other than the laundry . They are sturdy, safe, good quality and attractive. What more can I for...I recommend them!
