Side by Side Comparison of: Whitmor vs Deco Brothers

This is a solid product. I had a different set of laundry sorters that used velcro and they did not hold up well. This set has solid metal bars that hang over the top so the bags don't fall when full. One negative was that the frame was slightly lopsided (like a wobbly restaurant table) but once I put on the wheels it was better and once the unit was weighted with some laundry, there was no problem. Love this product.

How much can a person REALLY love a laundry hamper? Well, this girl really loves THIS laundry hamper. It makes my least favorite chore a lot easier. It is very sturdy, sorts my stuff, the removable bags are super handy, the wheels roll great and it holds a lot! A full basket can hold 2 loads (per bag) for my front load washing machine. Makes it nice so when I neglect laundry til a day of "oh no! There's no more clean clothes. Guess I will wash them ALL now", I can just bring my bags or wheel the whole thing to my laundry room. I don't end up with clothes all over the floor cuz I ran out of hamper space. Sure, I should prolly step up my laundry game eventually. But for now, this is the hamper of a laundry procrastinator's dreams.

I've been using this laundry sorter for almost 2 years now. Its held up great! The canvas bags are extremely sturdy, even with my teenager stuffing all his clothes in them. He's been the main user so it has not been handled with care. The bags have retained their shape even after heavy use. The cart is extremely lightweight and easy to push. The caster wheels spin 360 degrees so its easy to push wherever you need it and they glide across carpet with ease. So its not awkward or difficult to move around.

When I first ordered this, I didn't assemble it immediately, probably about 90 days after it arrived (well after the return by date). Once I started assembling it, one of the holes the caster wheel was supposed to attach to was too small, so the caster would not fit. I emailed Whitmor's customer service and they immediately shipped a replacement part. Excellent customer service. Replacement part worked perfect. I would definitely recommend this laundry cart. It does not take up a lot of room but you can get a lot of clothes in the bags.

This is well built and sturdy. I love it. It rolls easily and was fairly simple to put together. We think it is well worth the price and it looks like it will last a long time.

The bags come off and are washable. The bent bars they hang on slide back and forth on the cart frame if you need them to. But they also have a rubber coating on the tips to keep them from rubbing the cross bars. The bags are roomy and easily hold a couple of loads of laundry in each one, depending on what type of clothing you are putting in them.

It is large...a few inches too long for the place I want to put it, but I can easily roll it out of the way or even from room to room. Using this to sort my laundry is much better than having to dig into one hamper for a load.

I highly recommend this and do not see needing to replace it for a long time...if ever.

Easy to assemble, great to sort. This is a terrific product, and as a couple this works PERFECTLY for making laundry day 100 X simpler, by having everything sorted:whites, colors, darks, delicates & special care. When we had a houseful of kids, (8)we'd have purchased SEVERAL!:) As 2 adults know to turn clothes to correct side, pretreat any stains, etc. so we LOVE how we can lift the handled bags out ,and pour into our washer! We have a daughter having twins soon and we are about to order 1 for each baby. These will help she and her hubby tremendously! Our laundry room is a level down, so we even fold and carry the laundered things back UP to our dressing room ( an extra bedroom we decided to make one large "closet") Don't misunderstand me when I say we'd need more if the kids were still home. The bags are a sturdy, starched linen and quite strong.The sheer number of jeans and sweaters, myriad of colors and fabrics teens wear would warrant several carts!The chrome handles are a perfect touch to a great product. I tell everyone how useful it is! Highly recommended; just KNOW how many you'll need based on your family size and tastes in clothing!

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"!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I really enjoy having the four compartments. That's all I ever need. The bags hold just the right amount for a load. It's great having them on wheels too!
The only thing I would suggest is a shelf or something under the bags. It would help stabilize the wobbliness of the cart which happens sometimes as well as keep the bags from dragging. It would also serve to deflect heat out to the room when the sorter has to sit over an air vent.

This is the second Whitmor laundry sorter that I have purchased. The first one I purchased maybe 5 or 6 years ago. It had ivory bags and I believe the finish is a bronze rubbed finish. I wanted one to match but I could not find any in the same color.

This item was very easy to put together. Took maybe 10 minutes at the most. The hardest part actually was getting the rods through the tabs on the laundry bags. The caps on the hook ends since they are rubber did not slide through the material smoothly but you need the rubber on the ends so that the rods won't slide all over when they are hanging. I noticed that the rods on this one have extra bends by the hook ends, whereas my other sorter has the curve for the hook then the rod is straight until the handle area. I think that the extra bends on the rod also contribute to making it a bit harder to put the bags on the rods. I took off one star because I do not like how these rods are compared to the rods for my other sorter.

Some other comments said that the bags were thin, cheaply made and fall apart. The bags I received seem to be a good quality. The frame of the sorter seems to be very sturdy just like my other sorter so I don't think I will have any problems with the frame falling apart like some of the other reviewers said theirs did.

Very sturdy, each bag holds about a load of clothes.

To make it sturdy and straight, loosely attach all bars together and don't fully tighten all bolts until all metal braces are together.

If you decide to buy the Whitmor Commercial Hamper with this, the white bags from this do not match the commercial hamper. If you're really picky, it will bother you, like it does me. Considering they're the same brand, you would assume they would look almost exactly the same.

Other points to consider, only two wheels lock, so it still moves as it's somewhat light. The metal bag hooks come off the rack kind of easy. It would be somewhat better if there was an option to lock them to the rack. Then if you decide to take the individual bags to the washer, the metal bag arms slide all over, they didn't fall out, but considering they easily move, watch out to not dent or scratch your washer.

All in all, good buy on it's own.

Got home and my husband had it assembled. The bags are slightly smaller than I had thought, but were also slightly wider than I had assumed so it worked out. It feels sturdy and is level. Already have clothes in it and it holds them fine. I have a 2 year old that likes to walk up and try to shake it and it seems to hold his weight and "abuse" fairly well. The wheels feel strong and sturdy as well and roll pretty easily even over our carpet.

Time will tell but with our laundry output (fairly high and heavy loads) I can definitely see this lasting a year or more (which for me is fantastic because I am constantly breaking the handles on those plastic totes within a month or two). Now if this were at my moms house who does laundry multiple times a week and has much smaller loads than me, this could probably last her a good 5 years or so easy.

I will admit, with no prior usage of a laundry sorter, this definitely seems better quality than the one my sister has (she uses hers to sort out clean recycling).

UPDATE: So it's been close to a year and I still use this thing religiously. I have had to occasionally tighten the screws on it (maybe twice) when it starts to lean to either side, however once tightened its good to go! I have abused this thing to no end. Having 3 boys and a husband who is a mechanic (lots of dirty clothes!) this thing has seen it all and it still functions just as well as the day we bought it. Very happy with this purchase and IF this thing finally decides to give up on me I would without hesitation purchase another one.

The description says that it's 15.5 inches wide. When I purchased, it was 20 inches wide (and it said so on the box). Other than that, it seems very sturdy and was easy to put together.

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!).

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.

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.

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?

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!

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:)

Assembly is a little tricky with just one person until everything is all lined up. Seems sturdy but cosmetically not great. One bar was heavily dented... quite a few scratches and that was all straight out of the box. The bags seem a little smaller then my old one I had (different brand) because of the angle lose space. Overall decent for price and will serve its purpose.

I love the product concept, but the quality is crap. I bought 4 of these carts, one for each kids room. I (I mean my wife) loves that the kids can separate their clothes themselves. Makes it easier for my wife to wash them. She can just grab one of the bags and throw it in the was, bag included. Very nice. But once you load the bags up and try to push them across the house they get rickety and fall apart. The round threaded piece inside each of the cross tubes pulls out. You really can't put it back together and have it hold. All 4 of these carts I bought fell apart.
So why did I give it 3 stars? Well like I said I loved the concept, so I figured out a way to put them back together but stronger. I removed the 8 bolts and the 8 round threaded pieces that hold the cross tubes on to the sides. At first I bought some 1/4" -20 all thread rods 3' long and tried to use those by threading them through the round threaded pieces in the tubes, but the cart was still rickety. So I went up to 5/16" -18 all threaded and discarded the round threaded pieces and the bolts. I had to drill out the holes in the side pieces so the bigger all thread would pass through. I bought 8 3/8" x 3/4" rubber bushings, 16 5/16" thick flat washers, & 8 5/16" lock nuts. I put a rubber bushing in each end of all 4 tubes. Then slipped the all thread through each one. Then I put a flat washer on the end of each tube and attached both cart end pieces onto the all thread. Then I put a flat washer and lock nut on the outside of each cart side. I tightened down the nuts on both sides until the cart sides metal started to crush a little bit. Then I cut off the excess all thread on each side with a hack saw.
Now all 4 of my carts are solid and can handle the weight and will never fall apart again. They should have come this way to start with. It cost me about $25 per cart to do this, but the final product was worth it.

 I have attached a video review of the whitmore 4 section laundry sorter.

Pros:
- I was able to put this together in a reasonable amount of time without my husband. As stated in the instructions it took less than 30 minutes.
- All the parts were packaged well and easy to identify.
- It seems to be made of decent materials.
- The instructions were straight forward. There is a 800# for assistance business hours Monday- Friday. Of course, the first bag I put together was the one that will not stay on the horizontal bar. So I thought something was wrong. I wasted time looking for another way to hook it up.
- The bags are a decent size. One bag holds "at least" 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel and 7 wash cloths. I could get 2 more bath towels in it.

Cons:
- One of the laundry bags will not stay on the horizontal bar. You can see this in the video clearly. My husband will probably do something to make it work. I haven't tried anything yet.
- Because of the issue I am having with the bag I should paid less than $25 :-).
I do really like this even though I have not used if on a laundry day. But, I cannot over look the issue with the bag that won't stay up for the purpose of the review. I am going to give this a 3 for now. I may change the rating later.

This is the second time I've purchased this laundry sorter because I like the styling, although they don't seem to last as long as they should. The first one I had lasted about 4 years which is probably standard for regular use and wear and tear. I ordered a second to replace it and after setting it up it seemed more stable than the first which I was pleased with. Until I went to put laundry into the bags and one of the bags split wide open, right down the seam. I called Amazon who sent me a replacement, and this one had one of the tabs that holds the bags on the hands tear right up the seam. It does it's job but I'd like to have bags without holes/issues considering I don't overstuff or abuse them.

The structural pieces of this sorter are really sturdy. It was easy to put together and rolls easily. My issue is that the white bags arrived filthy and stained. Amazon was great and issued me a partial refund immediately. I decided to put the bags through the wash to see if the stains would come out. I followed the care instructions exactly - though I assume they want you to 'drip dry' not 'dirp dry' (I'm surprised they don't proof read their care labels). The bags washed out totally clean... And the seams were totally unraveled, particularly the hanging tabs. I do not think they'll survive a second wash.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've had this sorter for almost 4 years now. almost every week I have to tighten the screws. I have kept the tools it came with in a bag tied to this sorter. Now have to replace because one screw is stripped and I cannot tighten it anymore.
I also found the high/low bag placement annoying as I frequently put the bags back backwards.

Just assembled it and added dirty laundry. One of the "canvas" bags has already split at the seam. When I read other reviews on the construction of the verticals, I thought they had assembled it wrong. When I saw the split in the canvas I knew this was a piece of sh*** yet pretty expensive thing I had bought. I would never buy this product if I were you. although it seems to be sturdy, please BEWARE...

Looks better than it actually is... wobbles and tips constantly no matter how tight you get the screws. It really is not sturdy at all. The bags are cheaply sewn and will rip at the seams, so don't bother trying to wash them as they will only fall apart faster. This thing lasted me just over a year before it finally fell apart when I simply rolled it over the rug on the way to the laundry room. Would not recommend or buy again.

I purchased this to replace an older 3 bag Laundry Sorter that had a frame that was starting to fall apart after many years of hard use.

I was pleased with the way frame went together, its was nice and durable and holds up well even with a full load of laundry in each bag ... but one should exercise caution when tightening the bolts ... it is easy to get a little over zealous and cross thread (strip) the bolt or the insert inside the tube. If you are concerned with the bolt coming out over time ... use a little blue Loctite to hold them in place (which is what I do).

The wheels were a little troublesome to install with the provided tool ... I ended up having to use a actual wrench from my tool kit ... but once installed the wheels move easily over carpet and bare floors ... even with a full load of laundry in each bag.

As other reviewers have pointed out ... the Bags themselves do leave a lot to be desired. The fabric that they are made out of is quite thin and the stitching around the bottom and the openings for the support bars is moderate to poor quality. After a few washes ... the stitching on the bottom of one of the bags tore and the fabric frayed so badly that it was not worth trying to repair (fortunately I kept my bags from my old sorter which have held up quite well over the years and they luckily fit this new unit).

All in all ... it is a okay unit. The frame is sturdy and wheels work well even over thick carpet (even when fully loaded) ... BUT ... the bags are the weak point of this unit ... I would not expect them to hold up over time.

If you are savvy with a needle and thread ... I would either make better bags or reinforce the stitching along the bottom and loops so they don't fray ... which is what I did after the first bag failed (so far it has held up ... but time will tell).

Would I buy this unit again ... No ...
Would I recommend this to a friend ... No ... not until they supplied more rugged bags with this unit.

I was looking for a well built laundry sorter that would slide between our washing machine and dryer. We just completed remodeling the laundry room and was looking for a laundry sorter with wheels and that was less than 18 inches wide (to fit between the machines). The advertised dimension on the Amazon site says: "32.5 x 33 x 15.5 inches". This looked like a perfect fit for our needs.

When it arrived, the box says it actually is "20X36X33" inches, which is way different than what amazon.com said. Not sure why amazon got the dimension so wrong when it is clearly on the outside of the box. We put it together anyways to make sure it would not fit before sending it back, and sure enough, this is a very large laundry sorter. I would say it is closer to 19 1/2 inches wide. Again, our max is 18 inches wide.

We are sending it back because it it too big, but are disappointing because it seemed like a well built unit. Nice wheels and bags. It is also very large so if you are looking for a larger unit, this might be it for you. A lot of reviewers mentioned the screws coming out. We were going to use Loctite (a threadlocker) on the screws to prevent them from coming out and advise anyone to do the same if you are concerned with this issue. Really a simple fix.

Gave it 2 stars. 4 stars for the product but took off two stars for amazon getting the dimensions wrong.

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...

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

I hate laundry. I hate putting it away. It is my least favorite thing to do. I love this organizer and I am actually looking forward to putting laundry away. I keep it by the dryer and when I take the clothes out I put each person's laundry in their bin. I put letter stickers on each bag for everyone in the family. Then I easily push it to the room and quickly put things away in drawers. I can't believe how much faster and easier it makes the whole process. I was thinking about getting one with the shirt hanger but am glad I decided on this one because I can hang my husbands work shirts up on the side. Still in shock how much I love this system. It might actually help me keep all the laundry put away and keep up with laundry!
- Update so sad considering how much I LOVED it. It just completely fell apart. Wish I read the one star reveiws before I bought it. I'll look for the same concept but better quality

This product started falling apart on me a few months ago. At first I just had to tighten it up because it kept getting loose and sagging. Then the inner part of the poles where the screws go into came apart. My husband and I are duct taping it as I type this. I want to return it or get a refund but it's not worth taking apart and shipping back.... Also the wheels are not made for anything other than hardwood floors. Everyone I tried to move it over the carpet in our room it would come apart.

11/27/2016 Update: HORRIBLE build, HORRIBLE quality, HORRIBLE manufacturing! I have gone through at least 3 of these sorters. They get weak and collapse, they need more support rails under the bags, it's completely open- and no, they were never overstuffed. We are a family of 3 and I do laundry twice a week. Because of the poor design there is no way to repair them! Very frustrated with this purchase, stay away- #NEVERAGAIN!!

I purchased 2 of these in April 2015. One has been perfect, no issues. Unfortunately, the 2nd one (of course it's mine and hubby's) fell apart on me towards the end of June 2015. As I was rolling it from our closet to the laundery room, I almost stumbled over top of it when all 4 horizontal bars fell apart all at the same time. Would have loved being a fly on the wall, I'm sure it would have been a good chuckle! LOL. I called Amazon, and I would have to say they gave me the best customer service ever...they are sending me a replacement- so I'm very happy! LOVE LOVE LOVE this sorter...perfect for my little family of 3!! Thank you Amazon for making it right...cannot wait to get my replacement on July 1st!! I gave this product 5 starts even though we had problems with one of them because 1. It's a manufacturing issue (the horizontal bars are press fit, and that was what came apart) and number 2. Amazon made it right. Thanks again and again!

Huge waste of money! If you are hoping to use this to transport laundry from one end of the house to another, or in my case across the parking lot to the laundry facility than do not buy this. I specifically bought this to use as an easier way to transport my laundry and after the very first time of doing so the frame started to lean heavily to the side. The wheels work great however due to the poor construction the frame will start to lean heavily to one side if used to transport laundry anywhere. The lengthwise bars are attached to the upright frames by screwing screws into washers that fit into the bars. However, with any kind of weight or movement to the frame these washers can shift or tilt within the bars which will then cause the whole frame to lean to one side making it hard to move. I wish I had known this prior to buying because had I known I never would have purchased this time.

I absolutely loved this laundry sorter until it completely fell apart last night as I was pushing it down the hallway of our apartment building. The pipes come with circular disks at the end to screw into. When it fell apart, the circular disks fell out of the piping. The ends of the pipes were bent it, I'm assuming to keep with disks in there, which means we can't get the disks back in the piping to repair. I missed the return period by one week, so am left with a heap of metal. This would take a considerable amount of time to repair. I strongly recommend searching for another brand.

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

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
