I've had this trashcan for about a week and as weird as it sounds I am really liking it. Our old trashcan had one of those lids that are removable. The thing was always being removed and I was constantly tripping over it. Even when I didn't trip over it the lid was an eyesore. This trashcan is a very nice brown/bronze color and I love that I can step down and the lid comes up so I dont have to touch it.
