I've had the hamper for a little over a month now, I initially set out for a wicker basket but couldn't find one that was the right height or depth. I am happy with this purchase, It was taller than I expected and its pretty sturdy.  Its a perfect - his and hers hamper that I keep in my bathroom. I would not recommend it to be a hamper that you constantly tote your clothes in back and forth to the laundry room - it's not made for that. The velcro that holds on the top is very strong and the magnets work well, I like the option to remove the lid. Great buy!
