Air Your Dirty Laundry with Elegance !!
November 29, 2016
I looked at hampers for my boyfriend for way too long before deciding on this one, and it has been great.Pros:1) There is a LOT of space in these bags. What used to fill 2 standard hampers will fit in these bags with room to spare.2) The color/design is great- it makes the room look much more complete and allows you to "air your dirty laundry" without it looking gross.3) You can pick up one bag at a time and wash that color. I divided out Whites/Lights, Colors, and Darks.4) This hamper ROLLS- you can roll your laundry to the washer and dryer instead of piling a ton of clothing into your arms and dropping various socks and shirts during the walk.Cons:1) The bags do have a plastic-y smell to them, but it DOES fade. I am extremely sensitive to smell and I didn't notice it after a day or two.2) Heavy-duty might be a stretch. The frame can absolutely handle all 3 bags being full with laundry, but it will tilt slightly if pushed. I would not recommend trying to store anything heavier (toys, shoes, etc) in these bags.If you liked this review, please give it a "Helpful"!
It's all in the wheels!
October 6, 2016
I absolutely love this laundry sorter. And, although Amazon offers a number of different models from varying manufacturers, I purchased this one for a couple of specific reasons:1) Check out those wheels! - The floors in my apartment are a somewhat cheap imitation wood laminate, so they're a little more susceptible to things like scratches and scuffs. So, I was hoping that the wheels on this unit would have the same feel and texture I hoped they would simply by looking at the product images in the listing. And, I'm happy to say that they absolutely met my expectations, and work quite well without making a single mark, or scratch, or even a sound, really, as I might need to move the cart around the room.2) "Heavy Duty" - The item is listed as a "Heavy-Duty" 3-Bag Laundry Sorter Cart, and the pictures made me feel like it very well could have a more solid construction than some of the other like products offered on Amazon. I'll have to admit, though, when I pulled the bars out of the box to assemble the unit, they didn't seem all that "Heavy-Duty" to me. Worse, the way that some of the pieces were designed to fit together (in that they they either slide and lock into place with a little rounded pin that you push down to make it line up and latch in, or where the end of one bar might meet the middle of another with a cheap plastic fitting to be used as a bushing to join the two), my confidence in it being "Heavy-Duty" was almost instantly shot. Having said all that, I've been using this for a couple of weeks now, and even when I've had all three bags filled to the brim with things like damp towels and blue jeans, I haven't noticed any bending or bulging or general looseness that would otherwise indicate it as more of a "light duty" cart.Initial concerns over build quality aside, I really do love this thing overall. So, I have to give it a solid five stars. If it happens to wear out quickly or suffers some unexpected catastrophic failure, I'll be sure to update this review. But, until then, I'm really very happy with this purchase.
Would Recommend!!!
May 27, 2015
Arrived as expected, all parts were there, easy to assemble with basic knowledge of directions, sturdy when built, hooks are strong and I like that they have a rubber coating so they don't slip around, total measurements are accurate, bags are heavy canvas, rolls easy or locks, bars at the bottom to support heavy bags, and each bag holds a full load of laundry if not a bit more. Would recommend to a friend.
Prompt and generous replacement of defective parts!
July 15, 2014
Very responsive in replacing defective cart! The true test of a vendor is not what happens when everything goes well, but how they respond when there's a defect or problem.On that score, DecoBros gets 5+ stars for responsiveness and backing up their product.The cart arrived earlier today, and was as described in the other interviews. But after assembly (took about 1/2 hour) I discovered two defects, one major and one minor:1) one wheel had defective threads and would not screw into the vertical tube, and2) the screw holes on one of the curved top bars were not counter-sunk, so the edges of the screws stick out a bit, (the other curved bar was properly countersunk).I emailed the address on the box, and within 3 hours received a phone call. The polite gentleman (sounded like the owner) offered to send a replacement wheel, but when I mentioned the other defect (really just FYI, because it didn't affect the function) he quickly decided to simply send us an entire new replacement cart!I was very surprised and impressed. I assume it will arrive in good order; if not, I'll update this review.UPDATE 5-28-15: Still going strong, 10 months later. We now have 2 of these 3-bag sorters. I didn't realize how much this would change (for the better) how we do laundry. It allows us to sort different family members clothes into separate bins, and keep one set of 3 for dirty, and one for clean.Very ingenious and well-thought through design, especially the ability to lift each bag out of the frame and carry it to a bedroom.
Great product
June 13, 2014
This is an incredible value for the price. Feels so durable and stable compared to the other laundry sorters I have owned. Had to duct tape the last one together from day one. Would highly recommend this!
Very strong, super easy to put together!
May 24, 2014
I absolutely love this laundry sorter cart. The frame is sturdy and so easy to put together; I love the fact that you can pick up each of the three sections separately so you don't have to bend over to reach down to the bottom of the bag. Plenty of room in each bag to hold an extra large load, and the wheels are so strong, they are steel with tires, not plastic like so many of the other laundry sorters have. What amazed me most was the great price. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this laundry sorter to my friends, and would happily buy from this vendor again. By the way, it was shipped super-fast, too.

Nice size
July 11, 2016
I really like these. I bought two since I'm a slob when it comes to my cloths. They hold about two small loads or one mega load each. I like how the hide my laundry compared to an open basket. The lid I like least it's just a cardboard covered flap with a magnet. It's not a cat friendly surface but I'm sure she will figure that out. If you want a larger basket buy this. If you have the space buy two like I did. I bought mesh bags that's why you see the clips in the picture.
Great for couples and plenty of space!

Great hampers for the money
November 16, 2015
Got two of these--a black one for darks and a grey one for lights--when the X-legged IKEA ones I'd been using gave up the ghost, and wish I'd done it years ago. They are sturdy, roomy and still lightweight, have lids to keep the aroma of dirty laundry in check and magnets that close with a satisfying thump. They fit nicely in my closet under a row of pants (hanging over hangers, not full-length), but if you have to put them out in the open, they would probably be unobtrusive (though no fashion statement). I am older than dirt and have gone through several lifetimes of laundry hampers over the decades--from the heavy-as-lead wood-and-woven-plastic model I inherited from Mama to more cheapies than I can count. Functionality for price, these are the best I've had. And based on the top reviewer's durability assessment, I'm counting on them to be my last.
Nice looking!
March 28, 2015
I love this laundry basket. Obviously it isn't logical to carry the basket all the way to the washer with all the clothes. So what I did was I went to Wal-Mart and purchased two white pop up hampers that were $2.88 each and put them in each side and once they're filled, I just pull them out and take them to the washer. Very convenient. I would recommend this hamper (as long as the separate hampers are bought too at least.)
What I got was exactly what I expected!
December 20, 2012
First, the hamper is actually bigger than it looks in the picture. The double-ness really does make the difference especially since there are other hampers out there for the same price but smaller dimensions. Setting up the hamper was a breeze; it arrived in the collapsed form. To build it, all you need to do is unfold it. there are 2 zippers at the bottom that close off the ends and helps to provide some support to the overall structure. The top is attached by using velcrow, which is nice when you want to take the cover completely off for whatever reason. Although there are 2 magnets on the flap of the cover (to ensure that the cover stays in its closed position), you can feel that the magnets do not have that much of an effect. You can feel it for yourself when you lift and close the cover. Fortunately, this is not at all a deal breaker. I think the hamper is made primarily of hard cardboard (the type that is harder than that found in boxes). The cardboard is covered in a polyester linen.

I love this hamper
April 13, 2017
I love this hamper! It makes laundry easy and a bit fun, plus it's aesthetically pleasing. Be aware that one of the product photos has a bar across the back of the frame that would prevent the bags from swinging that direction, which would be great, but it isn't included on this model. The bags in that photo are also slightly different. The ones I received have less dark trim at the top near the hanger (which luckily I prefer!).
Sturdy & Neat
January 22, 2017
I put this together myself, and it was fairly easy to do so. But I did accidentally put the brake wheels diagonally across each other rather than on one side (still works fine). It looks neat, with the chrome finish and doesn't take up too much space. The bags are durable and have so far retained their shape (sharp lines one the bottom from when it was folded), even after a month or so of use. Because of the durability of the fabric, it doesn't allow for much stretch to overfill the bag. Overall, I think it functions well and fits in well with the decorations of my bathroom where I have it placed so me and my two sisters can separate our laundry. My sister preferred our previous sorter because the bottom had a flat metal mesh that she could leave put her dirty clothes on if she didn't immediately replace her bag. I however do not mind that she can no longer do so.
A good hamper, with a caveat
October 31, 2016
Overall, this is a well-designed hamper in concept and fully resembles the advertised product when constructed. It makes doing laundry a bearable chore - put your hamper on wheels, it's revolutionary. However, in practice, its durability is limited, but is to be expected for the price point. For instance, I must transport my laundry approximately 75 meters to an apartment laundromat, which drove my purchase of this unit. In practice, many of the joints are held together with plastic washers that continually deform, particularly on inclines and irregular surfaces - in my case the paved sidewalk to my laundromat. This results in progressive instability and "lean" of the unit that so far has been temporarily fixed by further tightening the screws. Hopefully it "breaks in."Pros:1. Price.2. Construction is relatively easy. Would be easier with a second set of hands at certain steps. Power tools unnecessary.3. Good design. The handles on each bag are convenient.Cons:1. Durability. Probably not an issue if hand carrying the bags or only rolling the hamper for short distances indoors.
Pretty, functional hamper
August 13, 2015
Updated: the company sent me a new hamper after seeing my 1st review. The new hamper is tight and straight. Looks like we got a defective one the first time. I'm glad the company took the time to right the issue, thank you!Love the clean simple design of this hamper. The hamper however it is crooked, the top and bottom bars don't line up. Anyone else have this issue?
Updated review...
July 16, 2015
Update: 2-9-16After having this for a few months I'm a little less satisfied with it. It just doesn't seem to HD up to the laundry load for a family of 6 (5 being males). It's always leaning one direction or another and I'm constantly having to take a screwdriver to it to tighten up the screws. It still does the job, but I have to leave it leaning on a wall if it's any kind of full.I did a ton of research before settling on this one. I'm so glad I did. It's simple to put together (even with a 1 year old "helping") and Super sturdy. It has an awesome capacity too. Very easily 5 stars!
Great design, made well, met all my criteria!
July 29, 2014
After EXTENSIVE research on laundry sorters I decided on this Deco Bros 3 bag sorter cart. I have only had it a short time (hence 4 stars). What I can tell you is that it was designed very thoughtfully and made extremely well. It was a breeze to put together and the connections fit snugly. (No wobbling or rattles) One criteria I had from past experience was a support bar underneath the bags, this one has 3. If you are shopping for one this is a must, trust me! The bags are a made of a water resisting material which can be hand washed if needed, and are made very well. Many of the other brands had canvas or thin nylon bags which seemed to rip and loose shape on many models. The wheels are quite sturdy which makes rolling easy. I didn't find any negative reviews on this and many if not all of the others had at least a few. I don't usually write these but I appreciated all the reviews I read in my search. I truly don't think you can go wrong with this one. I will add to this if i change my mind:) Good luck! Happy Laundry:)

don't get double brown if you have to carry - no grommets
July 12, 2017
My old hamper was one of those white canvas ones with three sections and is attached to a rolly cart. It was time for a change because I needed one with a lid to hide the contents and the canvas was getting stained through... so gross! This one looks so nice and does not need to be hidden inside a closet. I like that the liner is made out of tent-like material (much thinner but this is to give you an idea) because it will be easy to just wipe down and I love the magnetic lid - you can stuff it slightly beyond capacity and still have everything hidden inside. If you totally overstuff it though, it will lose it's shape. I think it's plenty sturdy - an adult human would not be able to sit on it and it would fall over if a small child jumped up on it, but a cat would be able to walk across it and you could easily place an extra towel or two on top. I just it does not have grommets for carrying. It's okay because I don't have to move it around, but if this is an important feature for you, do not get double brown. If you look at the pictures in the product info, you'll see that they all have grommets except this one. It think the sellers should clearly note that because I would not be happy if I had to carry it around.
Good, not great.
May 30, 2017
Overall, I like the way it looks (if not looking too closely), and the size is perfect. I'm deducting a star because the fabric isn't taut on the front panel. It's too loose on the top and billows out. Not worth returning, but also not quite up to the quality I'd expect for the price. Also, there's a nice bottom edging, but it's sloppy. Some of the hamper sits in front of it; some behind; and some right on top.
I mostly like this product.
February 28, 2017
I like this product now that it's assembled… There were some issues with assembly because seams not straight and corner not true. Used diagonal zipper to square box, but zipper cheap plastic and one of teeth bent so difficult to square one side. The size is generous. Easily fit in entire basket of clothes into each of the two sides. The look is clean, I may install a small hinge inside the lid as you can't keep the lid up , it just Velcro's on to the back of the unit so is a bit floppy. This is lightweight so it easily moves to clean around.
Functional and Stylish
March 21, 2016
Finally got a chance to set this laundry hamper up and I really like it. I was previously using just one bin, but this allows me to easily separate my delicates and regular clothes right away instead of sorting before loads. The hamper came un-assembled, but it was minimal effort to put together and put in use. The package did not smell like some do when wrapped in plastic and I was happy about that.The overall quality of the product is nice, but the bottom of the hamper is a thin fabric that zips diagonally down the center. I am afraid after some time the weight of the clothes will cause those seams to rip, but only time will tell. The zipper area does look well constructed and attached well to the fabric so hopefully it will be okay. The color is is more of a faded chocolate color rather than rich chocolate due to the fabric texture, but I actually like it better. Overall, I am happy with this product and will continue using it!
Fair deal for what you pay
March 21, 2016
This looks nice in my room and I like that you can separate lights and darks within the same hamper. I was actually pleasently surprised that it has some weight to it for a hamper that requires minamal assembly and folds up. PRO TIP: Buy two of the collapsible foldable hampers size 14" x 14" x 24" to go on the inside for easy removal of laundry when it's time to wash. The lid removes (must be for packaging reasons) and has a magnet to keep it closed. My only hang up on it is that the fabric isn't sown very taught in the front. Not a deal breaker though...I would buy it again.
Functional and Attractive
October 24, 2015
This works well in my bathroom, I like the design, and it's very functional for the space. The only complaint I have is that when the clothes begin to fill the hamper, the sides bow slightly and the folding top does not completely cover the width of the hamper. I recommend that the company alters the design to surround the top securely. Otherwise, this is attractive and works well for me.

Does the job, but get your grease and tools out...
March 28, 2017
Decent laundry cart. I have used for over 2 months now. Wheels and hardware are not top notch quality. One wheel was stuck and did not spin right out of the box. Had to be taking apart and greased. Cart needs constant tightening over time, but that is not a huge deal. Overall does what it is supposed to do but could be made of higher quality parts for price.Pros:Laundry bags made of thick canvas type materialNeat way to organize laundrySeparate bins make for quick sorting at washing machineCons:Not highest quality parts
So far, so good...
August 4, 2016
I bought a laundry sorter from BedBath and it was awful. So, I did what I should have done to begin with which was research the top laundry sorters out there. This one had high reviews and little relevant complaints. I was wary of purchasing online but took the risk. When we received it it was missing a few parts, which was kind of an inconvenience because I had already starting building it but the seller quickly got these parts to us when contacted (finding out how to reach them was probably the hardest part, after that they were apologetic, fast and accommodating). Anyhoo, my husband was on the task of building it and he built it in no time. He rolled it about a bit, it seemed fine. The true test came when we added laundry to it. It has a little bit of a wobble forward, but not on both sides so if you spin it around the other side does not wobble. This is a bit concerning as this is how the BedBath laundry cart started before it completely fell apart. And mind you, I am just talking about filling the bags provided with regular clothes. This is why the cart gets 3 and not 4 or 5 stars. On another positive note, it was able to roll it through the stretch of carpet fine (after I spinned it around so that it was not leaning forward as I pulled it rather than pushed it). Also, it got in and out of an elevator fine even despite the gap and seemed sturdy enough to last. Like I said the only concern I have is that that lean will one day give way to breaking. Ideally it would not lean, it would just stay in place as I pushed or pulled it. The parts are metallic not plastic. I like that it is compact (the wheels do not extend out) so fits in nooks and corners of the room and closets. Will increase stars if it lasts longer than 3-6 months or will decrease if it breaks. So far it is fine.

May 31, 2016
I bought this cart because it looked very sturdy. We are a family of three and do our laundry roughly once a week. The idea of having three separate compartments for laundry really appealed to me, as did the removable bags and the heavy-looking chrome frame. It was easy to assemble and looked great when we first set it up. The wheels are very large and the materials seem high-quality. Only the bags disappointed me, as they seem to be made from a cheaper synthetic canvas and are a darker beige than pictured.Over the course of the past 8 or so months the cart has begin lilting severely to one side, and there seems to be no way to tighten the poles to one another. We keep it in one spot in our room and it does not move from there. Two of the bags have split open at the corner just from moderate use. If I had known all of this beforehand, I might have gone with a smaller but sturdier hamper.
Great product...but a big odor problem comes with it
April 22, 2015
I bought this item based on all the positive reviews. It required about a half hour of piece by piece set-up...the usual deal with all the screws and the strangely translated instructions. The product itself is attractive, functional and just as shown. HOWEVER as soon as I opened the box I knew I was doomed for a year to unbearable naphthalene stench in my laundry room, also known as my dog's bedroom. I have ordered products before made in China and they often use these mothball bags to keep products from rotting, presumably, in the hot humid southern Chinese climate. But the smell never goes away. In the case of a scarf, dry cleaning did nothing, and I eventually had to discard it. This is a very useful unit and I have the bags outside each day hoping the odor will lessen, but even my dog won't lie near it. I will keep it, but if you hate naphthalene or are allergic to the smell...don't buy this.
Sigh.
April 14, 2015
Was torn between this and the Steele sorter from Crate & Barrel. Ended up choosing this one due to...well, really because I was way too lazy to drive myself to Crate & Barrel when I could click a button and this would magically arrive. It arrived in a smaller than expected box, and when I emptied the contents I figured out why. Look closer at the picture and you'll notice the bars are made up of individual sections like older tent pole sections. They snap together with spring closures, and eventually you end up with something that looks like the above. It looks ok, functions decently, but I'm not sure if I'll end up keeping this. Oh, it off-gasses for a bit, so assemble in a room or area with plenty of ventilation.
Could have been 5 stars!
August 12, 2014
Overall the quality is good. The frame is made of a light, chromed, metal tube that when fully assembled has a rigid frame with very little to no wobble. The wheels are heavy duty made with a dense rubber type material. 2 of which are locking wheels.My only real complaint about this product is at the welded joints, tack welds were used instead of a complete weld. Meaning, where 2 parts came together, one or two little spots were welded instead of welding all the way around the surface. I'm sure the reason for doing this was to save time and money in the manufacturing process. But I wouldn't be surprised if this joint failed in the future. Also, the partially welded joints left large gaps with sharp edges exposed which will certainly cause snags in clothing (if ever laid around the base of the hamper) or possibly even cuts if my child were to ever grab that area. Not a comforting feeling. I'll try to post a picture of this joint if I can.Would I recommend this product?:Probably. If it weren't for the concerns stated above I would have easily given it 5 stars.

Great for sorting & for capacity, just don't plan to carry it far...
August 16, 2017
I love having an extra large capacity hamper, but the handles should be fastened on or sealed to the product.There are little metal prongs that hold the handle(s) on, which are part of the handles. My intention with this product were being able to handles bigger laundry days for my roommate and I, by taking it to the laundry room which is about 150 ft. Away.The handles' fastener(s) bend and tend to give by the time I make it to the laundry room and I contemplate using grip tape or something else to hold them more securely but, either way, the handles do not hold up to being carried while full.

August 24, 2016
Quality not up to my expectations, but acceptable considering the price. It is lightweight and fairly unstable. Due to the hinged top it is impossible to use an interior clothes bag that I purchased at the same time.
Folding cardboard
May 30, 2016
This works, I guess. I wouldn't buy it again. I was looking for an attractive piece of furniture to help control the laundry hell that every parent of a toddler understands. This is not a piece of furniture. It is basically a larger version of the flimsy/sturdy canvas boxes you can use in Ikea shelving. The lid attaches with Velcro.Despite not being furniture, this is also not portable. So you'll have to use something else to transport the clothes to and from your laundry room.

May 6, 2016
I mean... it's ok. It's fairly sturdy but the bottom really needs a hard insert or something to keep it from folding. The magnet which is supposed to "close" the lid doesn't line up perfectly. It seems slightly longer than the hamper itself. All in all, it serves its purpose. It's just not exactly what I was hoping for.
Pattern and magnet misalignment issues
November 27, 2015
Just seems like this product was designed poorly. The vertical seam, as depicted in the product picture, should really be on the backside of the hamper. I wouldn't mind except the zigzag pattern doesn't align well across it. The lid can open from both sides, so, if you wanted, you could rotate the hamper 180 degrees, but then you would be fighting the velcro every time you opened the lid. In any case, the magnetic locking side doesn't work well. Most of the time, either due to weak magnetic attraction or misalignment, it doesn't seal.
) and it's a nice size. That said
July 29, 2015
It's decent quality, I didn't have a smell issue (at least initially!) and it's a nice size. That said, there are a couple of design flaws: 1) I suppose it's a quibble, but I would have liked to have handles or something... it's a bit awkward to carry, as you just sort-of pinch the sides or pick it up from the bottom, and 2) the inside doesn't have a detachable cover to wash. For normal humans, this may not be such an issue, but I have a potty-training human and therefore some gross laundry, and I'm sort-of stuck with something that doesn't clean easily.

It has been a real piece of crap from day one
August 11, 2017
Weak sauce! This is the most wobbly thing I have ever seen. If you try to roll it to the laundry room you are constantly worried it's going to fall apart. It has been a real piece of crap from day one. I'm giving it 2 stars because when it's not in motion it looks nice and fortunately you can remove each compartment to take to the washing machine to avoid rolling it...
Not so "heavy-duty"
February 5, 2017
Out of the box it seemed pretty sturdy, but the plastic pieces don't hold it together well without deforming. Also, when it's loaded with clothes, it cants the entire cart (so the vertical pieces are no longer vertical, like a parallelogram). I did notice the chemical smell others have complained about, but it was mild and dissipated quickly.
Update: It's started to lean
July 30, 2016
Update: after regular use, with no more than being half-full in each compartment, the product is now leaning to the left. Probably due to loosening screws/joints. I haven't figured out how to remedy but will update review if it can be done.Previous review:Item arrived well-packaged and protected. Bars were not bent or defective. Screws thread in nicely and product is balanced upon assembly despite other customer reviews. Two of four wheels lock but I have to bend over to engage the lock - I think that's inconvenient. Very easy to assemble. I plan on using this for my husband's work clothes (dirty construction wear), our towels, and large/bulky items. I'm hoping this will measure up. I expect each compartment to hold a little less than a full load. I'll update if I have any issues.
Good - but bends with bags full
July 23, 2016
This is almost the best laundry cart I've ever owned. The one thing that drew me to it was the large wheels. I've gotta roll this thing through my apartment complex to the laundry so having larger wheels is awesome. The bags are nice and thick. The width is a little small but that's not a problem at all. So, why a 2 star? It's funny how none of these companies can figure out the bending problem. You basically have 4 screws holding the top portion in place carrying the entire load of the 3 bags. When it gets filled up - the whole thing slants to the side. I tried screwing the screws tighter but that doesn't help. Why don't they just have a couple of straight "I" bars connecting each end in the middle long ways? Maybe they don't test these things I guess. That would solve the problem. Other than that - it's a pretty decent cart.
Screws Loosen With Normal Usage
July 5, 2016
I bought two of these in hopes of changing my laundry nightmare into a pleasant experience. These don't really fit the bill. The metal tubing is substantial enough for these to be called heavy duty. But the way that the cart is put together is the issue. There are a bunch of screws with plastic washers holding the 40 pieces together. Once you load the cart with a substantial amount of laundry (they are large and they hold a lot of clothing, sheets, towels), the screws start loosening up and the cart goes from being stiff and sturdy, to lopsided and shaky. I found myself tightening screws once when I put them together and two more times when I actually loaded them and wheeled them about 100 yards to the laundry room in my building. Once I put them together, that should've been the end of it. If I have to tighten screws every time I wash, then I've traded the time I saved sorting my laundry for the new task of tightening my cart once or twice a week. That's unacceptable. Ugh. I'd send them back, but they'd never fit in the box.
Super solid and great for the price!

I was hesitant to buy this after some rather craptastic experiences with a wooden-framed version and then a more recent cardboard-based monstrosity. We needed SOMETHING, though, and given its good reviews, I decided to try it out.This thing is SOLID. It's well-built and thought-out, and yes, it does just use spot welds, as one reviewer pointed out, but they're strong as heck and don't detract from the overall appearance. The wheels are super heavy-duty, but could be left off if you don't want to move it around. I do, so I put them on. The frame snaps together with ease -- no excessive screws or unstable joints.The bags are a PUL-coated cotton or some sort of canvas -- they seem well-constructed, and they're super handy to pick up and carry to the laundry. Each bag when full will fill our large-capacity washer. We keep this in the en suite bathroom in our master bedroom and it looks good with the other chrome fixtures.We've had this less than a week, but I'm impressed enough to write a five-star review of it. I will change it if anything unusual happens.UPDATE 5/15/16: Well, it was too good to be true. This sorter was good for about a month of normal use. Now it is super wobbly and lists to one end. Huge disappointment, as I really liked it.

Flimsy and cheap... but more or less in line with the price.
March 29, 2017
Well it does its job as a laundry hamper, that being said I found it to be flimsy and just all around cheap, in addition to being slightly unattractive in person. Its fabric and cardboard so if your expectations are along those lines you will do fine. There are two zippers on the bottom which, when closed, are what holds this thing together. One of mine was stuck and broken. I was able to force it back but had to fiddle with it for about half an hour. Ultimately I just replaced it with something better. Given the price point I couldn't bring myself to give this thing just 1 star.
Broken zipper's teeth. Unable to zip.
January 5, 2017
The package just came to me very smushed and was in very poor condition. It was held together by the strings of the tape. The hamper looked great, but when I went to the bottom to zip one of the sides. It got stuck halfway. One of the tooth of the zipper was messed up. I'm really disappointed and its pricey for what it is.
Came damaged and there are better options in this price range
November 2, 2016
Unfortunately the item I received was damaged. It seems it would be difficult not to damage since the metal around the handles is pretty thin and the zippers closing the bottom (I assume the zippers' main purpose is to keep the hamper from folding once unfolded) are pretty cheap too. The metal around the handles was heavily dented. The bottom fabric panels were creased from shipping which seems normal but the creases extended into the zippers making them virtually nonfunctional. This crease bent a couple zipper teeth on each zipper (there are 2) out of alignment. I could barely get it zipped closed and almost couldn't get it unzipped. This was promptly returned. For the money there are much better options available.
I somehow was delusional and though parts of this might use some thin particle board like in the walls or bottom
January 16, 2016
This is the classic case of an Amazon product that looks MUCH sturdier and higher quality in the photos, then when it arrives you realize it's poorly constructed junk. I somehow was delusional and though parts of this might use some thin particle board like in the walls or bottom. Nope, just flimsy fabricy junk.This is more like a piece of fabric made into a box. There are also 2 zippers at the bottom both of which nearly broke the first time I used them to get the thing set up.There is NO MAGNETIC CLOSURE. Totally false.The Top is cut longer than the rest of it, if you have an eye for symettry its super obviousThe fabric is loose in many places making it look super unsymmetrical, while the Amazon photos look perfect.In short if you want a cheap hamper, buy one of the $15 ones this is identical quality just "coffee colored" with an added fee. If you want something nicer than the $15 range this isn't it, go up to $50+ I wish I had
Updated: Went from amazing to moldy
October 31, 2015
Updated review:Got moldy and no easy way to clean. Being made of cardboard it absorbed moisture over time and molded. No way of cleaning the hamper so instead of breathing in mold, to the trash can it went.Was a great idea and the price was right but in the end, realized I need a hamper that stands up to damp laundry conditions and doesn't fall apart/mold. Also having a removable liner would have eliminated the mold problem.Original review.Great price, perfect size for an apartment dweller. Love the two compartments to separate darks and lights.It isn't the fanciest piece of furniture I have, but it gets the job done and cheaply. I really like the detachable lid. It's just out of sight in my laundry area.I was going for economy and something to replace a really cheap ugly hamper I bought at IKEA that I had been using for years. I think theirs was meant to be in a closet and not out in the open.
Don't be fooled by the excellent reviews. This is a "cheap" hamper with some flaws.
November 7, 2014
I purchased this hamper after reading so many positive reviews. What I received however disappointed me. The color as many people have commented on is slightly different then the pictures. It's an older look to it and not a solid brown. I was willing to look passed this. Load wise I'd say the two bins were a little on the smaller size. If this came without the divider, size wise would probably be great. That's more a personal preference though. For people with smaller washing machines this wod probably be perfect. Mine is a larger one and I tend to try and do only full loads to save on time/energy.Putting it together is where I ran into problems and ultimately had to return it.The bottom of each side has a fabric bottom with a zipper to seal it. Aside from allowing the hamper to collapse properly, it serves no function. However the problem was the zipper was very cheap and there was apparently zero quality control on my unit as the zipper was already broken. Looked to be a bad stich when they attached the zipper to the bottom mesh material. There also were no bottoms to the hamper as others have at least a rigid bottom to them. Made me question how long this hamper would hold up over time. Granted this is not the type of hamper you'd be moving around much. But it felt cheap and something I'd expect to find in Walmart.So overall:Pros:It's inexpensive.It's easy to put together (if it comes working).Good size for smaller loads.Negatives:Color could be off putting.Cheap qualityNo rigid bottomsSo in the end. For what it costs it's not a bad hamper. For a bedroom with more then 1 adult it's a bit small. I'm willing to pay more for quality and size so I will continue to look for a better hamper.

Eh...
March 4, 2017
I would give this 5 stars. Honestly I don't want to give it 2 stars. I put mine together with a phillips head screw driver and everything seemed fine. the bags hold TONS of clothes. At least 8 loads worth in my opinion. I take my laundry roller across the street to do laundry. The reason I bought this one, was because I had a cheap plastic one that kept falling apartment and the tires were plastic and fell apart after a month. As I seemed to push this ahead of my it LEANED extremely bad. I was scared it was going to break. I thought possibly I didin't tighten the screws enough so after I did laundry I brought it home for my husband to fix and he said the screws were tight. So I'm not sure why it isn't stabilizing instead of leaning crooked. If you dont touch it, its fine, but as soon as you start to push or pull it leans. Here's an example
Just want a working laundry basket that is sturdy.
October 13, 2016
Received this product end of September. The Cart was crooked and leaned to the RIGHT side, I wasn't too worried about this at first. However, within a few days of having this product, one of the 3 laundry bags split/was undone from where the stitching is for the bar to connect on the cart. Oct 10 2nd of the 3rd laundry bags did the exact same. The laundry bags were not overfilled, or containing heavy clothing/articles in them. Called amazon to complain and ask for 2 bags to be sent, instead having to send the product back and have to have it in a box and be picked up at home. Just want a working laundry basket that is sturdy.
It rolls fine half of the time but the other half the ...
September 8, 2016
I think my cart was the lemon of the batch. It rolls fine half of the time but the other half the time really tries my patience. One of the wheels will turn sideways mid-roll and completely stop the movement of the cart.... which causes me to slam into it. Nor do the wheels roll easily on my plush carpet. Also in my case, the frame is very unstable. The frame easily shakes side to side by at least 6 inches each direction and doesn't even rest perpendicular with the ground but at a nice 75 degree angle. I have been using the cart for two months now and it keeps getting worse. I have even tighten the bolts which helps for a few days but then the cart goes back to being a pain in my rear. I actually came online to search for a better rolling laundry cart but felt I should share my experience with this one.
I opened the box and it smelled so bad of moth balls
November 28, 2015
I opened the box and it smelled so bad of moth balls. I put it together and figured I could air it outside. I washed the bags in cold water two times, I cleaned all the metal twice and it smells up the entire house. Several of us got a headache because it was so strong. My washing machine now smells like moth balls. It is such a mess. It has been outside all day and still smells. It might be an okay product if it did not smell so bad. Moth balls are an insecticide. Now my washer is full of it and our house smells of it. Awful zero star product. I will be requesting a refund. I have spent too much time trying to make it good and it is a disaster.
Accurate and Fact Based Review. Quality and Size are Disappointing.
November 19, 2015
I have a GE Profile Top Loading HE Washer. This product does not fit the bill for me. It holds less than half a load of darks in one bag. It will hold 4 Vera Wang bath towels from Kohl's in one bag. My washer will hold 9 towels. I have a family of four that creates a lot of dirty laundry but no more that any other family I am sure.The quality is not great. I guess quality is subjective. I would not try to cram more in a bag that it can reasonably hold because I feel the bags would eventually tear with heavy use. Despite tightening the screws, it still sways back and forth a bit. I have put together many items in my life so I feel confident that I put it together correctly.It is not at all what I expected upon reading all of the other positive reviews. That makes me mad because I tend to rely on the reviews. I guess that is not a good idea and my own fault.I put it together so I guess I will just have to find another use for it.
Bad product
June 22, 2015
I don't see how this got such good ratings. We live in an apartment complex, so my husband and I thought this would be a great way to push all the laundry to the laundry room. The entire thing almost folds in half when you push it. When you push from the top bar, the entire top moves about 2 feet past the bottom half before it starts moving. And yes, we have tightened the screws as tight as they go. It is one of the most frustrating things ever! I honestly believe this item is either poorly made or we just got a dud, as I have no idea how there are so many good ratings.

Don't let this product 'hamper' you - avoid it altogether
August 26, 2016
Really awful product. No exaggeration this is one of the worst products I have purchased on Amazon. First off, no handles. Who doesn't make a hamper without handles? Makes it very difficult to transport to the laundry room. Second, very poor stitching on the exterior of the lid. The stitching was coming apart when I took it out of the box. In addition, the magnets to keep the lid closed came loose inside their sleeve, making this feature worthless. Finally, the zippers at the base were also poor quality and did not close properly and jammed. Don't waste your money on this product.
Very poorly made...
March 16, 2016
I got this a couple of days ago... I was very disappointed to see how poorly this is made, The seams don't seem to match up and there are wrinkles and puckers in the front (see picture). Also, The lid is attached in the back by Velcro and not very strong Velcro. I have lifted the lid twice and both times the whole lid has come away in my hand. Technically it does what it is supposed to do but every time I walk by it I cringe a little.
or better yet, using it
February 10, 2016
If you plan on moving this hamper, or better yet, using it, I would not recommend purchasing. The metal handles broke almost immediately and the fabric scratches almost as fast. This product lacks any form of durability. I think this is a case of you get what you pay for.

I got this to place in my 13 year old daughter's room. However, it is poorly constructed from cheap materials. See photos.
Feels cheap and poorly constructed
July 5, 2015
Returned this item immediately. Horrible construction that feels as if it will eventually disintegrate if left unattended. They somehow made this look much better in the photo. I would strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for a hamper, as I am quite certain this would not last long with regular use.
bad choice
October 3, 2013
Terrible quality. It just flops after a few months of use. Bought it based on reviews and regrets the decision. Should have purchased a wooden one which will last long.
