We've been slowly updating our kitchen and this has been on our list for a long time. We recently got a dog and she was sniffing out our trash can often. Getting your trashcan out of sight and off the floor is a must. This trash can is really tall so make sure your cabinets are tall enough to accept the bin. Ours just fit without having to modify anything. The construction is very solid and feels sturdy even when filled with trash. Our kids are not gentle with things and this is holding up really well.
