so I put this together last night , took a bit over an hour ...not hard, just a lot of pieces . But after I would say this is a REAL space saver, in all the pic people have upload it looks larger and capable of holding everything from pants, shirts, Etc.. In our House we only do laundry one a week and this hamper can possibly only hold socks, under garments, but defiantly not  blue jeans or thinker garments ..Still a great looking hamper..
