My seven year old will definitely get his clothes where they belong...if we can keep the backboard up. Im not sure if this is by design, but it flops forward to cover the bin and is hard to keep up. As far as Im concerned, this completely defeats the purpose of simplifying the chore of dirty clothes getting in the laundry. Plus, the color is way different from the picture as what appears to be yellow accents is orange. I get that orange is more realistic, but with a Golden State fan as the recipient, the blue and supposedly yellow color scheme was a major draw.
