Excellent product for innocuous trash in plain sight.  Yes it smells like paint when it arrives, the seams aren't caulked, and their is no protective polyurethane added.  It's still a great buy.  Received the small which was plenty big.  Cut a Ikea tall trash can down to size after an exhausting search of cans to fit. I can fit 12 gallons comfortably in the small, after finding the right shape to fit this trash bin.  I might repaint and poly it a later date, but for now it looks good.
