Narrow Rectangular Wicker Laundry Hamper vs VASAGLE Brenta Laundry Hamper with Shelf

The VASAGLE Brenta (B) is the better pick for most households: three pull-out bags let you sort lights, darks and delicates, and the metal frame with a top shelf holds far more than the 10 lb limit on the wicker hamper. The Basket Lady narrow hamper (A) wins on footprint and looks, sliding into a 17.5-inch gap and reading as furniture rather than a bin. Owners of A praise the rattan build and the hook-and-loop liner but wish it were larger; B's higher rating across more reviews points to sturdier everyday use.

• Choose the Narrow Rectangular Wicker Hamper if you have a tight 17.5-inch slot, want a hamper that looks like furniture, and only need about 60 liters for one or two people.
• Choose the VASAGLE Brenta hamper if you sort laundry, need 120 liters across three bags, and want a metal frame with a shelf on top.
