PU handles are fitted to both the basket and the lid, so the hamper carries by its sides and the lid lifts by its own grip rather than by prying at the rim. Natural bamboo slats stay odorless through seasons of damp laundry, and a reinforced base keeps the 15.7-in by 11.8-in by 23.6-in rectangle from spreading as the 19-gal interior fills. A detachable cotton inner pocket lifts out with a full load, so clothes travel to the machine without carrying the basket. The frame weighs 4.41 lbs and assembles quickly.
