Simply stretch the laundry hamper out, it will stand up and keep upright on its own for very long time, quite convenient without installation.Most clothes baskets need 2 hands to carry it, while ours is not, the length of handles are long enough to carry with single hand. Sometimes when you already held somthing, you still can move the hamper with the other single hand. You can also carry 2 hampers in one time when heading to laundromat.
