These are really accenting to a room! Lilac is one of my favorite colors. When I was using these ribbed bins as a clothes hamper, I was pleased that the color popped against the forest green notes in my bathroom. It isn’t obvious that they are plastic, which is preferable because the material is easy to clean and yet they look expensive.Right now they are fancying up my recycling situation. They are tall, sturdy, and have an impressive capacity without feeling bulky. They tuck everything away neatly and look great. A flip-top lid secures to the top of the hamper and there are handles on the sides for transport. When I do make trips to the recycling center, they are lightweight for carrying.They are an addition to the bathroom or a baby girl's bedroom, or function as a tidy, sophisticated storage solution.
