Most hampers are ugly, this one is not
I've had it about 6 months. Generally happy with it. One snap for the liner came off, but otherwise in good shape. Was concerned about durability when I received it because it seems like it's mostly cardboard, but it's held up ok so far.

Held up nicely
I purchased one of these hampers less than a year ago for my new home. I was a little concerned about its sturdiness after reading some other reviews, but it has held up very nicely with no problems at all. Its a wonderful hamper that looks great at the same time. Pretty hard to find a product like that.

Cool Hamper
I was in love with this hamper before I bought it and was in Like/Love after it came and in person. It was a little bit shorter/smaller than I anticipated. (Good for 1 person, but a bit small if you are sharing.)
I would buy a second one but the inner liner is off just a little bit. So I can get all the snaps snapped except one. I should have returned it initially and gotten another, but I didn't really think it would matter... it does. When it is full, the weight of the close causes the liner to pull off of the snaps and then it is a mess because the clothes are half in the laundry bag, and half out. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Do I really like it and love the way it looks? Yes, I do. If the liner matched and if it were just for me and not for 2 of us, I would totally recommend it.

Excellent Hamper
This hamper is just awesome.
Love the how the bag attaches inside via velcro, easy removal and reinstallation.
Incredibly sturdy.
Very spacious.
Looks gorgeous.
Highly Recommended!

Finally failed me
Other reviewers mentioned it, but I arrogantly rejected their feedback as the musings of nitwits. Well, finally it happened to me -- the snaps began to wear after a year and the bag began to unsnap from the container although I never "slam dunked" my clothes in the hamper. After about six/seven months, the tug of one pair of jeans was enough to pull the bag down.
As if that wasn't enough, last weekend an entire snap dislodged from the outer container. As I tried to snap the bag back into place, I realized the entire snap came off. This is frustrating beyond measure.
I was willing to overlook a few tattered corners (which CB2 should reinforce somehow), and the lid which eventually bends uneven (so slight that most people won't notice) but faulty snaps defeat the purpose of the product.
Bummer! I was a total evangelist of this product before.

love this hamper for its minimal design and the materials used. My only critique would be better fasteners to attach the liner to the inside of the hamper. The snaps used aren't quite substantial enough.

perfect size
I love how this is tall, skinny, and stylish. It fits perfectly in small spaces. Love the look - with the felt. Wood is a little thinner than I was expecting - but functions well. My only problem is my cats have decided this is a perfect scratching post, and have destroyed mine. :( My fiancees still looks great though.
Would love to see this exact shape in a more shiny (scratch resistant) finish.

Great Looking Hamper
I initially purchased this hamper about 9 months ago and loved it. However, recently I had an issue similar to another reviewer where the felt lining was separating from the solid surface beneath. The result was that the lid was no longer opening properly and would fall back behind the hamper when open. It wasn't horrible and I could have lived with it but for the price paid I didn't feel like I should have to. I contacted CB2 about the issue and they sent me a new one right away. I am so pleased with their service and just hope this one doesn't develop the same issue.

Simple, Elegant, Expensive
I bought this hamper because it's the perfect color and scale for my bedroom. I was concerned about other reviews referencing poor quality, but so far I am happy with the look and quality of the hamper. It is rather pricey though...

Fantastic Purchase
I absolutely LOVE our felt hamper! We haven't had any issues with the clothes not getting enough ventilation (we typically do laundry once a week). Every once in awhile the snaps do unbutton if I'm stuffing something like bedsheets in... however typically this doesn't really change the way I feel about the hamper. It only happens once in a long while and I don't feel that it has anything to do with "poor quality" like some of the other reviews said, but rather just how I use it! Another great note to make about this product is that it doesn't collect dog hair! I was worried about this as we have a great dane with white hair... but no problems there!! Also, we've had this product for over 5 months and it still looks brand new! Fantastic purchase! Can't wait for the next! Thanks CB2!

BEST HAMPER IN THE WORLD
I love this clothes hamper. It is aesthetically pleasing and very practical. I highly recommend it.

ventilation
great for use with dry clothes. when used with wet clothes, however, it quickly becomes warped and unsanitary.

Over a year later, still looking like new.
I purchased this hamper a bit over a year ago, just because i needed something modern in a dark charcoal colour to not only hide my laundry, but also to match the FLOR charcoal tiles on the bathroom floor. So this hamper was an exact match to the tiles.
I'm not sure whether mine came from a different batch, but a year later it still looks like the first day (I just went to double check the corners, lining, snaps, etc), It is all like it should be. I must admit though, that I don't use it very often, and that is because the snaps do not hold the inside bag when the bag is heavy (with the normal laundry load that fits in this bag). Hence the four starts and ntot five. That is really annoying. But quality-wise, I can't complain. Plus the hamper looks really modern and edgy in my bathroom.

great hamper
I bought this hamper without seeing it prior in a store and was very pleased with the actual product. The construction is worth the price with little details such as snap out liner and nicely closing lid. I love this hamper and it's made such a difference in my world of messy laundry by keeping the mess hidden and nice looking.

Beautiful but poor quality
My apartment is tiny and I needed an attractive hamper that would look fine if guests are over-- After much debating I FINALLY decided to fork out 90 dollars for a hamper (a lot of money for a teacher!). After TWO DAYS the lining started ungluing!! I'm thinking I'll take a glue gun and fix it but, COME ON CB2!!! I am so disappointed, I've bought many things at CB2 and never expected this. I should have read the reviews first.

The Platonic Hamper
If you're looking for the perfect hamper, search no more; this is the Idea of Hamper -- neat, solid, elegant & playful. Never thought that putting dirty clothes away could be such a lovely act.

Handsome product, quality lacking.
This hamper is about as stylish as they get. The felt fabric is especially awesome. Having said that, the snaps on the drawstring bag don't all align with the snaps on the hamper, so the bag isn't held up. While this wasn't a big deal, since 4 of the 6 snaps did align, the snaps soon broke off the bag. Too bad that the poor quality of the drawstring bag makes the whole purchase not worth it.

love the felt hampers!
I purchased 3 felt hampers and i love them-- 1 for colored clothes, 1 for white clothes, and 1 for clothes that go to the cleaners. the removable snap-out bags make taking the laundry to my laundry room super light-weight, instead of hauling my old hampers down 2 flights of stairs. the hampers are so modern and stylish that they blend right in with my decor-- no one realizes that they are actually hampers!

Love it, but my wallet doesn't.
I had to buy this hamper because it was the best looking solution to those terrible plastic bins I'd been using for so many years. I still keep it in the closet, but I don't have to feel bad about leaving it out. It's sturdy and feels like it will last forever. The bag inside holds up well, but if you overfill it, the buttons will un-snap inside. Overall, its the best hamper I've seen. I just with it wasn't so expensive! A $50 price point seems more reasonable. If you are on the fence about this one, just wait until it goes on sale.
