 Great idea, cute fabric, but... November 4, 2008

I purchased the Lambs & Ivy Hamper as a baby shower gift from the recipients on-line gift registry. Cute fabric and matching bedding to go with the hamper. Problem I ran into though, was that the box the hamper was shipped in was the same original box the hamper would be in if purchased from a store. The box was thin and not suited for shipping. The box had been damaged as if something had speared the box, leaving a hole in the fabric of the hamper. I called the company to report the damage and was told that the item was no longer available and I could keep it or return it for a full refund. I liked the product but was disappointed in the company selling the product.Lambs & Ivy Sports USA Hamper

We bought this to go with the matching bedding. It didn't take long for the wood to start to give out and the mesh bag has become torn. All this is just from holding laundry. It's cute, but not very functional.

I agree with the person before me. I received this as a gift and registered for it because I loved the design and wanted it to match the rest of the nursery decor. The frame is very cheaply made. It's worse than plywood. It's unfinished and lightweight. I have serious doubts about whether it's going to hold any real laundry. Too bad they don't make a wicker basket hamper in this design.
You would expect better quality from this brand May 17, 2007

I bought the Lambs & Ivy "Sweet As A Daisy" hamper to coordinate with my daughter's crib bedding. While the crib set is of good quality, I cannot say the same about this hamper. The fabric, mesh net, and embroidery aren't the problem...it's the chinzy wooden frame.
First of all, it is made of very lightweight, rough, unfinished wood (pine, we think). Then, the moment I took it out of the box and unfolded it, one of the upper dowels (which are held in only by single staple, no glue) popped out and splintered the wood. Upon closer inspection, one of the legs has a knot with a crack in it. Plus, because the wood is so light, the hamper itself is not very stable...tossing laundry in or a curious baby grabbing at it would send it tipping over and make it break for sure.
I would return this, but I've wanted the matching hamper so badly that I won't. My husband is going to make a more sturdy frame for me. If you decide to buy this hamper, you may want to prepare yourself for doing the same. The only reason this gets any stars from me is because of the super-cute material. The wooden frame gets a big fat ZERO.
