Perfect for a smaller kitchen with limited space. The lid locks to deter pets from opening. I needed a lidded trashcan to cut down on the amount of fruit-flies that were coming into my kitchen. At the same time I bought this, I bought a fruit fly trap. The trashcan arrived before the trap, and by the time the trap arrived, the fruit flies were gone.   

Pros: Easy to assemble, great price, great size
Cons: would prefer the base was a little more bottom heavy so it doesn't move when stepping on the lift.
