IKEA901.491.48 Frakta Storage Bag, Blue

Update:I was asked to answer a question about my purchase and I was able to provide more information so I am going to include it here in case it could help someone else.Product Dimensions Depth: 13 ¾ " Height: 11 ¾ " Length 28" Max. load: 55 lb Volume: 20 gallonI really liked these bags. I was able to use them for a few different things. I liked them so much I ordered more. I have seven of them. I used them for the following things:Guest bedding: when we have company we use an inflatable mattress so I have one bag devoted to a twin sized comforter and the two pillow shams that match. I also have a set of standard twin sheets with pillow cases and I was able to also get two new pillows from Walmart into the bag as well. These were standard size, thin pillows. The bag held all of this stuff. However, you can see stress on the bag where the zipper is sewen to the bag. It's a lot of stuff but it is holding up.Kids toys: I use 4 bags to hold toys for my kids to trade out weekly. Some of the stuff they have is so bulky tht these bags are great for containing that. I am able to fill it up and put it in our dry basement and just grab the next bag in line.Curtains: we recently moved and there is a very big difference from the amount of windows we had to what we have now. So all of our excess curtains are being stored in there. The bags handle a lot of weight. When you pick the bag up after it is stuffed it's sometimes surprising how much the bag can hold.Beach/swimming: the last bag we have is currently holding all of our summer swimming attire as well as the kids life jackets, 2 adult and 2 pairs of kids water shoes, a beach bag, swim clothes for everyone, bubbles, sand toys, a few games and large beach towels.I purchased these before we moved so initially these bags were stuffed full of stuff that needed to be moved from one house to another they held up perfectly and did what they were meant to do. I LOVE these bags. I have not had any problems with these bags and I have recommended them to multiple people.Original review:First off, I don't live near an Ikea so I don't generally get to use their products. We were moving and I thought these bags would provide a safe transport for clothing, pillows, blankets, etc. I was right. These bags are great. They are exceptionally easy to use and can carry a heavy load as easily as a light one.The material is most similar to the material that tarps are made of. This making them virtually waterproof. I have no idea if the zipper area would allow water or moisture in. However, as you can see in the picture the bright yellow zipper is fully exposed. It is not a thick zipper but rather a regular "duffel bag" zipper. Had they made the tarp material drape over the zipper area I think these bags would be above average for protection.I not only recommended this bag I bought a few batches of them. I have used them for everything. I have not had one problem with them yet and I have completed our move. I decided to use the bags for storage that is helpful to have separated. So I have one set up for swimming, another set up for company (a twin comforter, top and fitted sheets, two pillow cases, two pillow shams, and two regular sized pillows), ball pit balls that my boys use, and I am even using one for storage in the back of the car. It holds everything that has always been in the car but it makes it easily accessible and easy to get to something in the bag or remove it completely.This is one item that I feel like I really got more than my moneys worth. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great storage bags for closet shelf.... The bags are taller that some and very roomy and are great for the fluffy quilts and other linens than I wanted stored but still handy. They are also great for storing my handmade woolen items when taking them to craft shows as they have convenient handles for carrying and a lot can be fitted into them.... I find it a little too big for under the bed storage but my bed is a low to ground one. I have them stacked on my upper closet shelf... 2 for bed linens and 2 for craft show wool items....they have been great space savers and very convenient. So far, they are holding up nicely with no seam ripping or holes anywhere. They are very light weight and at first I thought they would be too fragile for the packing and repacking of craft show items but they are proving to be wonderfully sturdy.... very happy with them.

You just have to own a few of these. They are perfect for storing seasonal clothes. The fact that they zip up into a brick brick shape makes storing and packing things away for a while easy and space-saving.

Took this on the Tour Du Mont Blanc for my luggage transfer. We needed something without wheels and not hard shell, so after debating between a proper North Face duffle or this, this won out due to price. Worked perfectly! Held 30ish lbs of clothing/shoes, came with the luggage company for over 100 miles, no rips or tears. Perfect for what we needed!

I have a pile of old clothes in mint condition I've been waitng to put on Ebay. I need my daughter's help and it won't be till after the summer. I ordered this and was just thrilled at how big yet compact this bag is. You know how you find all these heavy plastic storage bins at The Container Store or BB&B, well forget about them. This is perfect and has give.to it yet it is very sturdy. I'm sure you can stack them. Just put a post it on so you know the contents.. You can't beat the price, it's a give away infact it's unbielevable.. The blue is extremely pretty.. I also have the shopping bags which I love but I needed the closed zippered top.I can't recommend this highly enough.

I bought four of these back in 2015 and after about a year, one of them busted open with a big hole on the side so i ended up tossing, it. The other three are still in operation today. I just bought a new one in April of 2018 and now i have four again. The new one is a little darker blue in color so if you are like me and a bit OCD about having things match, this may be a slight annoyance. There is not much you can do about this though because im sure Ikea's bag suppliers change with time and there will be some variation in the colors they use with each new batch. Overall, these make excellent laundry bags and I will continue to buy as needed.

These bags have become so synonymous with college move-in that even airline baggage check in rep noted seeing so many of these come thru. As a parent of two college age students that live across the country, these bags have been great since we need to fly out with must of their essentials. We double bag them just in case (but really did not need to as they are pretty durable). Perfect for bulky clothes like sweatshirts, comforters, pillows, etc. Fits a lot especially if using in conjunction with space saver bags that remove excess air. (We fly in with a backpack, 1 hard shell suitcase & 1 Fratka bag each on SW airlines that allows for 2 free per person… perfect for those college moves. Performed as needed). Foldable for easily storage and later reuse.
