I ordered these for our baby's nursery. When they first arrived, I noticed a very strange smell coming from them. I even washed the inside linen several times but the smell still lingered. It eventually went away but it was not very pleasant. The hampers look nice but they are not the most functional. The wicker is very weak and little pieces break off every time I lift the hampers up. I have to transfer all the dirty clothes over to a different hamper and then take them to the washing machine. These just aren't the most functional but they look okay.
