Basic & functional. I wouldn't give it a 5 star if it was more expensive, but it is a great quality for the price. The washable bags held in place with drawstrings at the top and supported on the bottom with a mesh base. I was afraid they might fall off, but they seem very secure. The mesh base is not designed to be washed (unless you wanted to take the entire sorter apart first), but it can probably be surface washed. The sorter wobbles a little under full loads, but it still works. I am pleased with the large size of the 3 bags.
