Are collapsible fabric hampers actually durable?

It depends on the construction. Reviewers and r/BuyItForLife commenters note that thin pop-up mesh hampers often sag or tear within a year, while collapsible fabric models with a sewn-in iron wire rim, reinforced handles, and a rigid baseboard hold their shape much longer. Models with pop-up rubber gasket mechanisms drew the most durability complaints in community threads.
