We bought two of the hampers 7 years ago. My wife has one and I have the other in our bathrooms. After all this time and weekly trips to the laundry room which is in the house these are still in great condition. My wifes' hamper lid cracked in a few places last month and an email to Sterlite was responded to with a new lid within a week. . This is a great company to do business with and I recommend their products highly.
