I purchased this hamper for my son going to college for use in the dorm. Since boys are especially rough on items this hamper has taken the beating and held up. He loves that it is on wheels and can take his laundry straight to the washers and sort and then fold his clean laundry for transport back to his room. The holes in the sides of the hamper allows it to breathe and I always clip a new air freshener to the hamper when he comes home and I do his laundry.
