I am in my late 60’s and carrying a laundry basket around was becoming almost impossible. Plus I am getting concerned about falling. I put this cart in my walk-in closet and use it as a clothes hamper ( I can always tell what is in the wash now ;-). Also I put my empty hangers on it when I take clothes off them, no searching for empty hangers in my closet. When the cart starts to get full, wheel it down the hall to the laundry room without any concerns and my hangers are there to start all over again.
