We got a lot of compliments on these bins (of which we bought 2) and really love the design. My only criticism would be with the mechanism of the lid: 1) it does not stay open for more than a few seconds (even when you are hovering your hand over the sensor) which makes it tricky to empty plates etc. 2) the lid is also a bit temperamental (we had to request a new one for one of the bins). Overall I think for the price it's absolutely fine - other similar bins cost much more!
