How much laundry does it hold?

About two loads, according to Mainstays. That is enough for a week of clothes for one person or a few days for a family.

Does it stay open on its own?

It pops open into shape and holds itself up, but the sides are soft fabric. A full load keeps it steady; a light load can let it tip or fold in.

Can I use it for things other than laundry?

Yes. Mainstays suggests toys, stuffed animals and sporting equipment. The open top makes it easy to toss items in.

No. The top is open, so contents stay visible and odors are not contained.

How do I store it when empty?

It collapses flat. Fold it down and tuck it in a closet, under a bed or behind a door.

Does it have handles?

Yes, carry handles on the sides let you lift and move it between rooms.

Our take on the Mainstays Pop-Up Laundry Hamper

The Mainstays Pop-Up Laundry Hamper is a lightweight, collapsible fabric bin that holds about two loads of laundry. It pops open for use and folds flat when empty, so it stores in a closet or behind a door. Carry handles let you move it between rooms. It suits dorm rooms, kids' rooms and small apartments where floor space is tight. Against rigid plastic or wicker hampers, it wins on storage and portability but offers less structure and no lid.
