I needed a big trash can for my kitchen/great room, but didn't want it to look like a trash can! I love this trash can that I'm using inside my lake house, and I will probably buy another one for outside use as well. When taking a really full bag out of the can, it does require a little maneuvering because of the way the internal bracing is engineered, but it's not a big deal for this great looking, sturdy trash can. I am very pleased with this purchase!
