Our can arrived last week in perfect condition and seemed to be packaged quite well.  We're able to stuff quite a bit into it too which is helpful. The only drawback is there is a handle on the back (to pick up the entire can) that sticks out about 3/4 of an inch maybe. So depending upon where you place the can, it may not lie flat against the wall. :(  So the original place I had in mind for the can (at the end of our island) didn't work out as there was an outlet there which made the can stick out even more...  For this I held back a star.
