DII Foldable Laundry Organizing Bin, Black, Small

I’ve had this hamper for 3+ years now, and my brother just saw it, loved it, and wanted to order one so I found myself on this page to share the link and thought I’d leave a review.

This hamper is so cleverly designed: has a flat bottom so stands upright on its own, the top flaps can fold down and close up if you need it to for any reason, the handles are very easy to hold, and material is super sturdy.

I’ve hauled this thing around to laundry rooms in apt buildings and it looks just as good as the day I bought it. Also, in addition to being super lightweight, I’ve done some serious stuffing and squishing of blankets, towels etc., into this hamper so I didn’t have to make multiple trips up and down to apt laundry rooms.

For people saying it’s small: it would probably be small for a family, maybe even for two people who put ALL their household laundry in here. I’m a single person and it works for me for about a week and a half to two weeks of mostly clothing, bath towels. The hamper can fit a queen size bed’s worth of bedding.

Great hamper when you need an extra one or for weekend travel or guests. This would easily fit in a suitcase when folded flat. Roomy, soft, attractive, holds a Lot of laundry, including towels and sheets. I bought in both colors. Easily tucks away in the closet when not in use. The top acts like a small basket ball hoop if you want to fold it over that way — just toss your laundry in the round hole and go! Or use the handles straight up as in the photo — that way it’s easy to carry and go, if you needed to take it upstairs, move it room to room, for example, or bring your stuff to a laundromat, anywhere you need to go with your laundry.

I have many styles of the collapsible DII storage containers. Since I have open shelving in my closet, I prefer to use these as a drawer by organizing my items in these containers and then storing them on the open shelves. It makes it easier to look for things because I can just pull the container off the shelf instead of removing them one by one until I get to the back. I consider these extremely versatile. I even have one on a shelf in my pantry. I also use these to store things temporarily.

What I like about this style is that the fabric is slinky and satiny feeling. Two sides and the bottom insert are made of cloth covered cardboard. The other two sides and the bottom where the cardboard insert goes are just a thin cloth that can be easily ripped by sharp objects or overuse. The cloth is similar to those grocery bags that stores sell for .99 cents. There’s a “tail” left on the cardboard bottom so that it can be removed to collapse the containers for storage. Note that the bottom has cloth only on the top side.

DII has a style to fit almost any decor. Although these are cheaply made and not for heavy items (I wouldn’t put more than 5 pounds in any one container), they work for me to store clothing, bathing suits, toiletries, etc. These are competitively priced at $12.99 for two but I still consider them a bit on the expensive side for what they are.

UPDATE – Note that in addition to these marble cubes, I also have their DII Polyester Laundry Basket/Bag Marble White, Hamper, White Marble which is too small for anything other than a child’s hamper. I would actually rate that item two stars because I am highly disappointed in that laundry basket. It is small and narrow and designed either to hold toddler clothes or best for a college student who does not have much laundry and needs to carry the basket to their washer. What I do like is that the handles fold over to create a “stand-up” soft-sided basket. The hole will not fit more than a hand towel through it or some shorts. To provide an idea of the size, this basket will hold eight standard-sized beach towels if they are folded and pushed down (see photos). I cannot recommend that item. The reason I am attaching the review here is because Amazon combines reviews for both these marble baskets and the hamper together.
