I absolutely love this!! Sounds silly to say that about a trash can, but I wanted to find something attractive next to my stainless steel microwave. For 30 years there was a nasty looking white plastic can whose lid my late husband got rid of years ago. I'm now giving my home a new fresh look, and had no idea what a difference a nicer trash can could make. The only space I have for it is a narrow space that also limits the height of anything I put there. It had to have an open top, and I found no other anywhere else that was the perfect size and look.  I love the way the top part lifts uoff to remove the bag, and it also hides the edge of the bag when on. Very happy with this!
