are these sturdy enough to line with a trash bag to wash dishes in?

I've never tried this, but they are collapsible by design. They work great to keep food safe from wildlife while out doors and they fold flat with only minimal pressure for storage. (my two year old granddaughter would have no problem) So, if using them as an impromptu sink is important to you, I'd look for another product.

They're pretty flimsy. I use them for the shelf above my washer and dryer to store various laundry/house items. They serve their purpose and work well for my needs but I'm always caution when picking them up and don't pick them up by the handles.

Yes, they are sturdy: rubber-coated plastic for durability. They aren't very large, though, since they're meant to fold flush with the container top, and only 2 of my fingers fit through them to carry. However, you can use carribiners or connect the handles directly to straps.

No they're very sturdy and stiff, I got them to use in a garment bag as I didn't want them bending either, or sagging through handling but they would work perfectly in the closet to hold heavy garments like jeans. Very good quality.

Yes. But you have to make sure to secure them properly, my dishwasher has a silverware tray above the two main racks so it works, I can't imagine they'd stay put in those little handled cutlery box things.

Yes as long as you don't overload them. Product details state that the maximum weight is 55 pounds. I use this size as well as the larger 32x14x13 tote to carry in groceries but also handy for loading up clothing or items to be donated. They are very sturdy as well as versatile. You can just wipe them clean with a damp cloth, depending what stained them of course.

I'd think so! I use mine inside my cupboards to hold sets of dish washing gloves. They're much sturdier than I expected.

Yes, I do believe that would work. They are pretty sturdy. I was happy with the purchase.

If you're asking if it is sturdy enough to hold such items, then yes, the bags are tough. I use them in a rectangular trash bin to hold lots of scooped cat litter, and when I remove the full bag, it's never ripped.

They are fairly sturdy. Depending on how much you throw your backpack around, they should be ok.

They are a couple inches thick and pretty sturdy. I don't *think* they would bend (but mine aren't full of heavy stuff so I can't be sure).

To me they are sturdy, but not awkward to handle, if that's what you're asking. The metal doesn't flex or give, but they are not heavy in weight. That is, they are lighter than the equivalent size glass mixing bowl.

It does seem sturdy enough. Mine is used for bathroom storage--towels, shampoos, soaps, lotions, etc.

You can, they will "fit", but they won't reach the bottom. But I suppose it would work in theory, just not with any heavy items. I would highly recommend using 2.6-3.2 Gallon trash bags, though.

They are made out of fabric with a cardboard type bottom. Don't think they are sturdy enough for anything too heavy. We use them for grandkids clothes and light toys.

Although I have not done so myself, they do appear to be of sturdy enough construction to do so. I have simply wiped mine clean with a damp cloth but if they ever require a deeper cleaning, I would not hesitate to put them in the washing machine.

They're very sturdy. Not easily bent at all, but I'm sure with enough force, could be.
