Put raw fruit and veg scraps in it.  sealed well but still had gnats around it.  So I took it outside.  It sat outside for a few months until i could get it to the compost pile... then the lid would not come off...after a couple of minutes of pulling the handle came off but the lid was still on. Once some air got in through the holes where the handle was attached, and I turned the whole thing upside down, everything came out on top of the lid (ick).  Probably my fault.  It does look nice...

Pros: looks great
Cons: handle came off
