The wooden bin is not at all an eyesore like a traditional trash can. The best part of the cabinet is that my dog can't get into. The assembly was one knob and painless.The quality is superb, you really can't go wrong with real wood. The item was delivered damaged. The bottom piece that keeps the door from falling to the floor broke so we added a suspension cord to keep the door in place when leaving opened. Great buy to hide a trashcan.
