Finished this at the same time I painted the cabinets for the Playpen but hadn't remembered to post it. Not exactly what would be called fine woodworking, but it serves its purpose.
We had 3 laundry baskets, a 3 compartment hanging sorter, and another bag type laundry cart in 3 rooms. The dirty clothes in the bedroom basket never seemed to get sorted until the pile was huge. I came up with the idea of a single unit with 6 bins that would comfortably hold a washer washer load each. Dirty clothes get taken to the laundry room every couple of days and sorted. When a bin is to the top of the door, we have a load.
Construction is rail and stile panels from Poplar with plastic lattice inserts, including the horizontal sections. The panels are joined with rabet and dado joinery. 'H' type hinges were used with magnetic catches located behind the white porcelan knobs. The unit rides on casters so it can be easily moved.
I am going to have to reverse the doors on the right end. Where it is sitting there isn't enough room to open them more than a few inches.
