I was hesitant to spend so much on a trash can, but after a couple of years using it, I can only say it was 100% worth it.  I have a heating register in the floor of my kitchen (!).  This covers it beautifully and looks great.  It still opens and closes like new. Easy to empty the bins.
You do have to line the bins (even the recycling side) because there are a couple of holes in the bins--not sure why they are there.  Comes with a few disposable bags specially made to line the bins.  You don't need to order them after you run out if you don't want to.  I just use whatever I have around, not a problem if it doesn't fit exactly.
I am very happy with this purchase.
