As per some of the other reviews, the finish on the wood slats is not the best and I had to sand down quite a few of them to try and get rid of the roughness. I also was not a fan of the light wood (lighter than in the picture) and had to stain the bin which was extra fiddly. Other than that, it was easy to put together and very easy to use . Just lift the bag out of the bin and take it to your washing machine. I like that the bag is easily removed and can be washed. Bin looks good now it is stained and works really well.
