For me this is an extravagant purchase, seriously $80+ dollars for a garbage can!  Oh but what a wonderful garbage can it is!  First the color is a gorgeous rich brown which is just the neutral I needed to blend into my room and not be the star of the show.  Essential is the lid, easily lifted with the foot pedal, now not a man or beast (take that dogs) can rummage, scatter or pilfer through the garbage while I am not looking.  Costly yes, functional yes, attractive yes , a win over man and beast priceless!
