After opening the packaging and getting your items out, make sure you wash them first, and your hands, as they have black all over from what is under the mosaic design.  Also make sure all your mosaics are glued in properly as you may find pieces of them that have fallen off.  But, overall, I really like this wastebasket and it really is nice.  I bought the whole collection for my bathroom and they look good once they're displayed for use.  The do match the online picture too, which is nice, and they match my teal bathroom perfectly.
