Review on πŸŽ‹ Oceanstar Bamboo Laundry Hamper - Spa-Style for Stylish and Efficient Organization by John Reese

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Looks good but quality control is very poor

It looks like a throwback from typical IKEA furniture. If I hadn't picked it up I probably would have sent it back. The styrofoam packaging that arrived quite crumpled turned into a huge mess with all sorts of little things stuck to everything. Also, it's 2017 - why is this company still using it for packaging? One of the side panels had a scratch; small and fortunately out of sight of where it is. When installing the hinge on the lid, both screw heads broke off, so I had to reassemble with my own device, including drilling new pilot holes. The rubber stopper on one side of the lid was missing on arrival so I had to remove the one that was still sticking and find a new kit to fit from the parts I already had. The dowels provided were too short and narrow to be usable. Unfortunately I didn't have the right parts in my stash so I'm hoping the glue I used in some places will help make up for that. This basket looks great when assembled but I'm not sure how it will hold up over time.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
