Would this be a good choice for my son's dorm hamper?

i'm not sure it would be good as a hamper, its a pretty big square once its opened up. it would be good as the go between from the hamper to the laundry. but as the actual hamper, i dont think it would be a good fit.

Yes, it folds down flat. Great for laundry and shopping. Opens wide like a real laudry basket. I have 8 in my apartment and use them for everything he can store it under his mattress at the foot end. I use them in the car to haul the groceries in. I love these baskets! Have a great year at college!!!!

I love this hamper, it's so much better than those cheap ones we got at the dollar store that are narrow and tall, they tear up easy. Highly recommend!

Maybe. It is a soft structure, that is the reason I love these baskets, but it is meant to take clothes to and from the laundry room, more than as a hamper. The tall, square hampers work better for just a hamper.

Yes! Because it folds up it could be put away when he isnt using it. Also the handles make it easy to carry. You might consider something with a drawstring bag instead, based on how far the laundry site is. When I was in college thats what everyone seemed to have because it was in a different building, and this is kind of bulky, and open on top which means you might lose socks if you had to, say, carry it to a car.

It would depend on the size of the adult and how "rowdy" they are. I'd suggest looking for something that is made with real wood rather than press board. It's still in my son's room - length and width are fine, however it is not sturdy enough for when teenage boys land on it. And I've had to reinforce all of the drawers. I hope this helps you out...how fun to buy furniture for a beach condo!!

NO, totally works fine for that space. We purchased it for a dorm room and now using it at home. It's perfect!

A laundry hamper wouldn't fit its small inside . Itll fit wash cloths hand towels bottle n that sort of stuff . Hope that helps

It is a great size, however I would go for a larger size for bedding. Would still be great to store stuff in a dorm room.

In my opinion it would not make a good pack pack for school. There are many others out there that are less expensive and lighter weight.

Yes, it would be a great choice. We love ours and plan on ordering another one.

It must be pretty strong; my son has had it a year now, using to buy groceries and over stuff with laundry to go up and down the elevator and across streets and etc. all over the city. It is a decent size, not small. It folds up pretty easiliy and stays flat. He does have to put a doorstop on it when folded to keep it from rolling off as the wheels do not have a lock. I hope it lasts another year, but so far, with a lot of wieght, and rough city streets it ihas survived one year of dorm/college service.

I think so. It's very sturdy build and roomy. I bought it as a gift for my grandsons first birthday.

Sure, if measurements clear the bed. I love, love it as a trunk organizer and it has side pockets too. Dorms are so small and good to have a place for everything to keep organized!

Not well. The dimensions of the hamper are more adaptable to wire hangers which they do well. The hamper is very good for transporting your wire hangers back to where they are recycled like a professional cleaning establishment

Yes, it would be excellent for diapers, dish towels, etc. Plus since it simply hangs on screws you can move it to another location very easily if you want to. I am very happy with it for my laundry.

I would say yes if there are programs that you need it for. It is basically a desktop replacement but if you are able to I would suggest leaving it at home/dorm-room so it doesn't get damage or undergo wear and tear because it's pretty large. For an example if your going to class I would suggest taking a netbook since you a lot of times they are available for a cheap price on Amazon and when you get back home or to your dorm housing use the big laptop. I'm just saying that if your able and would be able to have the means to do so. I hope this helps and I wish you the best on whatever decision you make.

Yes, this would be a good bag for the price. It is fully adjustable. Just don't pack too much weight in it, considering your son only weighs 80 lbs. When I used this pack, I had it filled with 55 lbs. of gear.

Hi Julie B: The hamper is sturdy. As for 'heavy'. Not really. It has a solid top and solid bottom. It has supportive side bars, inside, top to bottom, at each of its four corners.The top is padded, and has a slight cushion feel to it.With a good two hand grip, on each side, one can move it.Round felt pads were put on the four nylon feet to add to its slide ability on hard surface floors.But, it isn't a lightweight. It is substantive. It was found to be a good product that will last.Hope this helps. Safety Guy.

I bought it for my college son's dorm. My son loves it. If it can survive his first semester I would definitely say it's sturdy.
