I was looking for a tall, but thin hamper to fit between the washer and dryer. I read many reviews and saw the dimensions of this one would fit. I only had about 7-8 inches width to work with. It is soft sided but seems to be a durable material. I won't be carrying it around like others have done so read other reviews if you want to see about toting durability. It was easy to put the rods into the four corner pockets to open up the hamper and stablize it. The hamper is light, thin, and although not as tall as I would like to have found, it holds at least a washer full of clothes, maybe a little more. It won't scratch my appliances, and it makes the space between the washer and dryer useable and efficient freeing up floor space in my small pass thru laundry room. It's a space saver that works wherever space is limited. I'm single so it works well for me. It would be great for a home where each child's closet had one to collect dirty clothes until laundry day. The size and height makes it easy to hide away behind a door or for use in a closet. So far very pleased as it works as expected and no one sees the dirty clothes unless they go all the way to the applicances and look down between. Makes the pass thru to the garage less cluttered.
