Many college students these days have invested in some sort of laundry basket or hamper. Most everyone would prefer to have some other storage device besides the floor. I invested in a pink, pop-up, rolling hamper for storing my dirty laundry. However, I am now regretting the decision. This so called storage device takes up almost half of my tiny closet in Calvert. Also I can't even throw all of my clothes in there because the sides will lean and get in the way of my wooden sliding door. Now, this is not because I have an excessive amount of clothing. I also wash my clothes almost every week, so there is not a large accumulation. I believe the leaning is simply the cause of faulty design. The metal wire that spirals through the nylon fabric is just not strong enough. I am a little upset by this because if I spend twenty dollars on something, I expect it to work properly. While the wheels are nice, I don't really believe they are necessary. There is also a strap that is a fine accessory, but not needed. I feel as though this product was a bit of a rip-off. If I were to look for a laundry storage device again, I would simply get one of the hanging mesh bags. They save space and are easy to carry from the dorm room to the laundry room. I hope my insights on hampers are useful and remember, keep it clean!
