I LOVE my new hamper.  Our cat was tearing up the wicker hamper I've had for years, and I really hated to get rid of it, but this one is so much better.  We got the darker finish, which is a nearly perfect match to our bathroom vanity cabinet finish.  Others had mentioned that the hinges were not aligned.  I was upset to see the same issue, but realized the next day that all I had to do was flip the lid over and the hinges aligned perfectly!  You won't be disappointed!
