I didn't know I could fall in love with a trash can but this thing is so gorgeous and you can't beat the price. I am putting it in my den area where I have a big desk and comfortable chair to work in. It looks SO nice I find myself glancing over at it in admiration. It opens and soft closes very nicely, and it's just the right size. It's large enough that I can throw paper, etc. in there, fits nicely beside my desk, and all while looking so amazing. I put it on my dining room table for the pics so I could get a good shot of the color and size.
