It is all a bit flimsy, not very convincing the way the lid closes, and it does still open accidentally when I had it 'locked', but did expect this when ordering. I still like the product to make good use of spaces that are difficult to access. Would never use it for real garbage, but I store the paper to be recycled in one of these, and the one months supply of dog food, because I can move this container into the left over space behind the cooker and worktops until I need it. So, summarizing: not good enough to use as intended (for waste), but brilliant for extra storage and a better use of places that are difficult to reach. And, by the way, noticed I would have paid 10 pounds more on every other outlet, what had made this product rather expensive for what it is, so good offer from Wayfair.
