Sturdy, but not heavy to lift. I got the oval shape so it fits perfectly where I keep my can. I like the open design. I never keep the top on my trash anyway, so this is a perfect design. The can arrived in perfect condition with no missing parts. It is exactly as described. The deodorizer compartments snap and lock well, so I don’t anticipate any problems with that. All in all, a very modern, attractive kitchen trash can.
