I would give this hamper more stars if the 2 identical hampers we had ordered had not both had gouges in them. My husband took the one with the banged-up lid and I took the one with a less-visible ding in the side. Functionally, the hampers are nice. They are the right size for about a week's worth of laundry and do not take up a lot of space in the room. They are nice looking hampers and it appears that they will hold up well, but it is difficult to overlook the fact that they are brand new and yet they look like we got them second-hand because of the gouges.
