I bought this for my grandson.  His parents set it up for him and it is being used.  He is too young to use it,  Their comments are that it is not heavy duty, very light weight. It works well for them as they put his dirty laundry in it.  For a child that might want to play with it, it will not last.  So I guess I will be looking around for another hamper for him as he gets older.  It is super cute though for the time being.
