This set of hampers are exactly what I needed to help declutter my sunroom and sewing room when the grandkids arrive. They are large enough to fit throw pillows, blankets and clothing, yet sturdy enough to hold all the miscellaneous things you just want out of the way, but don't want to forget where they went when company leaves. They are attractive enough to mesh well with most decor, and sturdy enough to set a few books or a tray of food/drinks on.
