Great trashcan fit for the kitchen. If you have stainless appliances then this will fit in perfectly. It is thinly walled and will dent if you abuse it, but that's what you get for this price point. So with that taken into consideration, I give it 5 stars because it is so clean looking.

It is coated with a plastic non-stick layer so it does require extra care to avoid nicking it and ripping into this layer, as this will lead to eventually peeling and degradation of the product. 

As for its functionality: The step opening mechanism feels sturdy enough as long as you don't slam it, and it works well, but make sure you are careful not to manually shove the lid back down, otherwise you may damage the mechanism. The lid falls slowly back down on its own.
