Go big or go home. If you think about it, the only reason you would not want to buy a large laundry basket is because it takes up too much space. But if its collapsible, the issue disappears. Unfortunately, the idea sounds great in theory but can be impractical without high quality. Infamous problems with collapsible laundry baskets include difficulty to collapse, cracking, damage when forcing to fold, folding in wrong direction, wear and tear, and rubber detaching from plastic. It stays locked in place at 3 inches high when folded flat. When collapsed, our gray hamper uses 70% less space than a standard size laundry basket when collapsed. Just picture how easy it would be to stick the basket in a drawer or between washing machines. When opened, the basket is big, measuring 24L x 17.5W x 10.5H, and capable of holding a whopping 11 gallons. The basket features comfortable rubber grip handles to soften your heavy loads when you carry them downstairs. Our design helps the weight of the basket to spread evenly. Although the basket is marketed as a hamper, it is ideal for other purposes like icing beverages, bathing pets, soaking laundry, and storing toys or clutter.
