I invested in 3 laundry bins as none of the ones we had at home were satisfactory. I am very happy with my purchases. Not only do they look good but they are big, easy to use, and practical. I especially like the hole in the lid to enable clothes to be deposited in the bin quickly. I also like the way you can store the lid on the rim of the bin, and the Velcro fastened washable lining. Not cheap but a great investment!
