I absolutely love my new trash container. It is beautiful in appearance and the quality of construction is superb! It came in one piece, no assembly required, and it was well packaged. The ease of use is amazing and the only time you have to touch it is to replace a bag. The bags are so well fitted and strong that I'm convinced that it holds more than a traditional can of the same (reported) capacity. The soft close feature is great too. I'm so happy with it that I may purchase more as gifts for friends or family. Thanks for a great product!
