I love the looks of this trash can so much that I bought 4 13-gallon ones for my husband's office, 2 8-gallon ones for our home, and 1 8-gallon one for the beach. Unfortunately, 3 of the 7 have broken within one year of use. Some part of the step system breaks causing the lid to slam down and not stay open when needed. I bought these even though I'd read many reviews complaining of the same problem on other retailer's sites. I wish Kohler would fix the design flaw. These were our favorite trash cans.
