Visually striking!

This is the most striking piece of furniture/decor that I currently own, which is saying alot because this is a hamper currently storing a nylon sleeping bag. Gets 4 stars, not 5, because it has a bit of unique smell to it - smells distinctly like hay in a horsebarn. Not unpleasant, just distinct, so be aware of this if you are placing garments/pillows in the hamper.

Lid doesn’t fit the base easily

I’ve purchased several products from citizenry and this is the first I’ve been disappointed with. (I’m also disappointed that my review was never posted; I hope they’re not filtering negative reviews?) My biggest gripe with this hamper is that the lid needs to be manually squeezed over the top to actually close it. The mouth of the basket is wider than the lid so it doesn’t fit without having to squish the sides under the lid for it to close. For something you use several times a day this gets super annoying and I wind up just leaving the lid resting awkwardly on the top, which looks messy. A second, and smaller gripe is that there is quite a bit of green in the leaves used which doesn’t exactly match the product photos shown here.

Hi Julie, Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Mercado Hamper. This piece is handcrafted by master artisans in Mexico, and while some size variation is natural, the lid should easily fit into the base of the basket. Our client experience team has reached out to you directly to resolve this issue, so more to come there. Thank you for your continued support of The Citizenry! Best, - The Citizenry Team

It's ok...

This is a beautifully made piece, but it's not really useful as a hamper. The top piece caves in and it's awkward to carry. The thing that bothers me the most is that it has a very strong grassy smell that has not gone away after over a month. I think the clothes will take on this scent, and although it's not terrible, it's not what I want my clothes to smell like.

Disappointing…especially for the price

I’ve been eyeing the large hamper for over a year so I finally ordered it. Unfortunately, the lid does not fit on top on the basket at all unless I spend significant time grappling with it (and even after I finally force it on, the basket looks contorted and lopsided). This lack of functionality is particularly disappointing given how pricey the item is.
