The bin looks fabulous and bears all the hallmarks of the classic, clean, functional-yet-beautiful Joseph Joseph design. However, things that could be better are: 1) The opening front door of the bin doesn't lock into place firmly - it always feels like it hovers closed and opening and closing the top lid inevitably makes the front door open a little bit. 2) The whole unit feels like it will tip over if you press too hard on the foot pedal; not quite flimsy but very light. Ours is against a wall so that hasn't happened yet but I am aware enough to step lightly on the pedal. 3) The ribs running down the back of the bin housing the mechanism are exposed at the back giving it a slightly unbalanced look from the side - the width at the top is different to the width at the bottom. It might have been better to encase it all to make it evenly rectangular-shaped. The packaging was really tough and fit for purpose. Overall, a brilliant bin.
