I got it because we needed a cat-proof hamper and it’s purrfect for that. It’s pretty claw resistant and the cats have only managed to claw a tiny piece off but that’s pretty good considering what they did to our old hamper. It’s also a good size for the two of us. My only con is that the colour of the wood is much brighter than I had expected based on the pictures. This just means it doesn’t go as nicely with my grey-brown nightstand and dark brown drawers, but it still works.
