This hamper is a very nice way to keep your dirty laundry hidden. It doesn’t really have or, I guess, hold the shape from the picture, but I’m not really picky about that at all. It’s much softer than I imagined it would be which is actually nice because I was worried I’d end up with little jute pieces in my laundry, but no shedding here! The handles are helpful for hauling to and from the laundry room! Overall- it’s perfect for me.
