This trash can is very lightweight, but seems very sturdy.  Went together very easily. The infrared works very well and I love it.  It makes a functional and "decorative" way to store trash.  With the infrared lid, it is very convenient as I don't have to use my hands to lift the lid, or have the lid fall into the can, etc.  

Pros: Great value....looked at other similar size/function cans and am very satisfied with this one and for less price. 
Cons: Have only had it about a week, so at this point I don't have any cons!
