Review on Chrislley 152L Double Laundry Hamper: Extra Large Divided Clothes Hamper with Removable Bags and Visual Window - Black by Kim Cockrum

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very poor quality materials

I like this idea. However... Quality: Incredibly weak. The posts are flimsy and when I assembled them it seemed like they were about to break. Of course not, but I had to be very careful. The mesh bags inserted inside are made of a very thin material. Now I understand what mesh is and it doesn't have to be the strongest in the world, but these bags don't feel like they can hold the weight of half a load of laundry. The outer basket itself is very poorly made. The seams didn't hold up during assembly either. The velcro straps securing the bars broke when I placed the velcro on the bars with little to no pressure. As soon as it ripped, I saw that it was only secured with a stitch. The corners came apart even before I installed the frame and of course they tore even more after the frame was in place. Assembling: What a pain it was putting this together! At first I followed the instructions that came with it. It was a terrible idea. The tarp kept twisting on the poles so the corners didn't line up. And that with two people - one holds one side and the other pulls the bag over the frame. The frame seemed to be too big for the bag so I took it out and put the bottom of the frame in and worked from there. I had to put in the tall bars and then the top of the frame. Not much better, but job done. The next obstacle was putting the bag on the plastic corners. I'm glad it's a canvas bag and I understand it doesn't stretch, but the amount of tugging required to get everything in place will make anyone sweat. Overall...spend the extra cash on the included plastic bag. assembled or ok with a crooked, torn laundry basket. I would return it for my money but to be honest it took me 40 minutes to assemble and it's torn in several places so I doubt a return will be accepted.
