Had been using the standard 3 bag sorter that had to be lifted out of it's holder, and the weight of a full bag actually injured my back twice! These pull out and easily unfasted w/velcro from front & back, voila, no lifting. And this looks much better than the standard type too. Bonus flat top (isn't hinged btw, it's a fixed shelf) for folding or whatever. This one is a winner, and super easy to put together. A kid could do it.
