This “So Stylish” Hamper Has Been a Game-Changer on Laundry Day (It’s on Sale!)

It wasn’t until recently that I came to appreciate the value of a good laundry hamper. It may have taken me until my late 20s, but hey, better late than never! While hampers aren’t exactly the most exciting purchase, I’ve found myself getting oddly enthusiastic about small home products — especially ones that help streamline my daily routines, like laundry.

For years, I’ve used a single-basket laundry hamper. While it served its purpose, I’ve become increasingly particular about how I sort my clothes. Adulthood has made me more discerning — or, let’s be honest, a bit picky — about what gets washed together. I like to separate non-dry clothes, keep whites and colors apart, and in a perfect world, I’d even have my workout clothes stored separately (rather than tossed into a bag next to my hamper). Sure, I could have multiple hampers for all of this, but instead, I opted for the Songmics Handwoven Laundry Basket — and it’s been a game-changer.

This woven laundry basket on wheels is not only stylish but super functional, too. With three compartments and a handy side pocket, it’s perfect for sorting your laundry — whites, delicates, colors — before washing. Made from durable plastic rattan, it has a natural look that blends nicely with different home styles, so you won’t mind having it on display if needed.

Each compartment has a removable liner, making it easy to pick up your laundry and carry it to the washing machine — or just roll it over, thanks to the four wheels! Like my original hamper, this one has a lid to keep your clothes (and any odors) hidden, helping your laundry area look more organized. And if you’d rather skip the wheels, it also comes with feet! You can use the built-in side handles to carry it from room to room.

Compared to the cheap laundry hamper I grabbed at T.J. Maxx eight years ago, just about any new hamper would feel like an upgrade. But honestly, this one’s a great choice. It’s not only sturdy and portable, but the design really has everything covered. I love that it has three sections for sorting — I hate mixing my workout clothes with my regular clothes — and it’s perfect for separating whites and colors. The little side bag is a nice bonus for things like washcloths and kitchen towels. Plus, being able to lift a section by its liner and toss it straight into the wash? Super convenient.

The only downside is that you have to assemble it. It’s easy enough, just a bit of a hassle, and it turned out to be smaller than I expected. It doesn’t hold as much as I thought it would, but to my surprise, that ended up being a good thing — I was doing loads that were way too big anyway!

If you’re looking for a hamper that’s easy to move around, makes laundry day more organized, and simplifies sorting, the Songmics Handwoven Laundry Basket is a solid pick.
