Very disappointed in this item.  I have bought this hamper in past.  This time, the manufacturer sent two of the same side panels so that I could not put the item together.  I had to take the side panel off of my old hamper and use it on the new one.  However, the bottom panel did not fit on this hamper either.  I left it off because the laundry bag inside will hold the clothing.  I am using it now but will be looking for a different hamper.  I do not recommend this item.  The item has gone way down in quality over the years...too bad!!
