No. It is an open-top hamper, so laundry stays visible and air circulates through the hole pattern.

Will it fit in a narrow gap?

It measures about 20 inches long, 13 inches wide and 24 inches high, so it suits gaps too narrow for round or wide hampers.

How much laundry does it hold?

Owners report it holds roughly a full week of laundry for one or two people, though the slim shape means bulky items fill it faster.

Does it need assembly?

No. It is a one-piece molded plastic hamper that is ready to use.

Can it be used as a wastebasket or storage bin?

Yes. The open rectangular design works for recycling, toys or towels, though the holes suit airflow rather than holding loose small items.

Wipe the plastic with a damp cloth or rinse it out; it does not absorb odors the way fabric hampers can.

Our take on the Mainstays Rectangular Open Plastic Laundry Hamper for Narrow Spaces

This is a slim, open-top plastic hamper with a rectangular footprint made to fit tight floor space in apartments, dorms and bathrooms. Two built-in rim handles let you lift and carry it, and the rectangular hole pattern keeps air moving through the load. It is a simple, low-cost alternative to lidded or fabric hampers: no lid, no liner, no assembly, and nothing to hide odors. Owners rate it highly for fitting narrow gaps and holding a full load, though some find the open top and thin plastic the trade-offs.
