Our laundry room is combined with our mud room, so hampers are visible to people coming in and out of the house.  This hamper is just what I was looking for...a reasonably-priced piece of furniture that would keep laundry out of sight; a significant upgrade to the old cloth hampers!  I purchased two in order to have four bins (whites, lights, colors, and darks).  My '4' rating rather than '5' is because the inside cloth bin holds a little less than I expected.  That said, the bins are large enough to hold one moderate-size load.
