The UMBRA Metalla trash can is perfect for a small space such as the bathroom, office, or even a bedroom. It adds a pop of classy gold appeal which in and of itself is both simple and eye-catching. However, because the trash can is not metal but of a plastic material it is very lightweight. I have used this trash can for a few weeks now in my home office and have had no issue with the paint coming off or any scuffs appearing with regular use. Overall, I think this a classy choice for a trash can and would recommend it to those looking for an interesting yet practical trash can.
