I love the trash bin, but it was dented in two places, which is why I took off a star.  I did call Wayfair, and they took care of the issue.  Another reviewer commented on how easily the black lid holds on to fingerprints.  This is true, but I find they wipe off pretty easily with a wet paper towel and then dry it off with a kitchen towel.  I live in a city where you are fined if you don’t compost separately from garbage.  So I use the small side of the bin as my compost and the larger side as my garbage.  I don’t notice an odor, so I would say the odor seal works well. The compartments are perfectly size for a single person.  It would probably be too small for a family.
