Really not what I was expecting for the money spent, all the plastic parts which includes the lid I feel should have been made from the same sturdy material as the body of the bin.
I'm glad that there's no physical contact with the lid as it opens & closes on it's own. 
My bin lid is something I like to clean last thing at night with a bit of bleach, I obviously can't with this plastic silver coated lid.
I like the height & size of bin & I like the silent lid closing feature.
I won't be recommending this item for purchase I only kept it as I desperately needed a bin for my kitchen.
No issues with delivery & item was packed securely.
