Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Listen... I've lived the $7 collapsible laundry hamper life. When I graduated and got my first office job, I thought, you know what, it's time to be an adult - and what does that mean? Separating my laundry. I wasn't sure if such a hamper actually existed, so I googled "separated laundry hamper", and lo and beyond. As adults, we are able to curate the items in our life - and a laundry hamper is no different. Sure, you change get by just fine on ugly mesh cubes - but they fall apart in months, and they tend to overflow, and because they look ugly and college-y in the first place, I found the standards of cleanliness for my closet - and by extension, bedroom - were lowered. I took a plunge on this hamper, and I have never regret it. In fact, when I moved cross country and had to leave this hamper behind due to lack of space in my car, I missed it so much I ended up buying a second one. I, who am not a rich person, have bought a $70 laundry hamper twice in my short life. It means that much to me. This hamper is beautiful. It smells good. I experience joy when I lift up the little wicker flaps. The bags inside come out and you can carry them easily to the wash. They hold the perfect amount for a full load. I don't have to worry about separating my lights and darks. It's easy to keep track of my clothes. And since the lid stays closed, my closet stays clean. With this hamper, I respect my clothes and the cleanliness of the space around me. (I swear to god - once I used this hamper in a job interview when asked to sell the interviewer on my favorite object, and I got the job.) I truly believe this hamper was the mark of adulthood for me. It was a huge step in becoming an organized person who values their belongings. It's more than a hamper for me, it's a symbol. Real talk, they do need to sell the bags separately, because the velcro does tear off after awhile. I think this time - my second time around - I'll give them another pass with a sewing machine myself. That being said, I would highly recommend this hamper. If you're ready to elevate your life, to graduate from s***ty fabric hampers to this beauty, you should absolutely do it. It's an object you'll use every day, so why not make it well curated? Do the right thing.
