In a laundry room where everything else is white, a natural wood hamper stands out for the wrong reasons. This one is finished in white over renewable bamboo and holds 19 gallons in a rectangular body, standing 23.5 inches tall beside a washer or under a folding counter.
Painted white, the bamboo lines up with cabinet fronts, appliance panels, and trim rather than introducing a second wood tone into the room. The rectangular 15.75 by 11.75 inch base tucks into the gap between a washer and a wall, a space a round hamper would leave half empty.
Nineteen gallons takes on a full family load, or the towels and bedding that accumulate faster than clothing does. Filled to the top it still moves: rope handles on both sides give a firm grip, and the cotton liner can be pulled out and carried alone if the whole shell is too bulky.
The bamboo lid with its rope pull matters more in a bright room, where an open basket of laundry is visible from the doorway. Closed, it hides the contents and holds in the smell of damp towels and workout clothes until the removable cotton bag goes into the machine with them.
Folding bamboo drying rack with 11 dowels and a flat shelf for sweaters, opening to 29.25 inches wide.
Collapsible steel tripod rack standing 64.5 inches tall, with folding arms and slots for hangers indoors.
