The Baveke laundry hamper is constructed from Moso bamboo laminate, a material naturally suited for the humidity of a bathroom. It features a vertical 2-tier shelving design over a tilt-out basket, maximizing storage in a small footprint. The hamper uses a 600D Oxford fabric liner with a water-resistant coating, which is more durable than standard mesh for carrying damp towels.
Bamboo is known for its high tensile strength, and this frame supports a static shelf load of up to 15kg. The tilt mechanism uses steel pivot pins to handle the movement of the large-capacity basket. To ensure the longevity of the pivot points, it is helpful to avoid overloading the basket beyond its intended capacity, especially with very heavy, wet items.
During assembly, using a manual screwdriver rather than an impact driver is recommended to protect the bamboo fibers. The vertical design makes it an excellent fit for guest rooms, nurseries, or closets where floor space is a priority.
Applying a small amount of wood glue to the joints during the build can significantly increase the lateral stability of bamboo furniture.
For a version that uses an MDF frame with a more traditional cabinet look, the HOMCOM 31-inch hamper is a reliable alternative.
