My husband thought I lost my mind spending so much on a kitchen trash can....I doubted my sanity as well, but this baby is worth every penny. Rock solid and heavy, holds a lot of trash for a family of 5. Love the foot pedal and slow close lid. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Got the black one to go with black appliances and black accents in kitchen. Really pulls things together and looks so much nicer than the crummy old plastic trash can I had been using. Looks more like a piece of furniture or an appliance than a trash can. Who knew this would be such an exciting purchase? Even the hubby can't stop raving about it. Sanity intact. Go get one!
