Works as intended. I like the feel and look of steel and it suggests that this container is intended to hold recycling items. In contrast, if this were a plastic container it just would not look as good, and the plastic would not have the nice powder coat finish like this metal can. I like that is solid and durable.This container is located in the hallway at our small business we own. We felt that a plastic container system would not look as good nor fit into our decor theme. The price is kind of high but worth it for us.This is a nice can but it is huge. I should have realized that. But highlighting the size would be helpful.I bought this despite the bad reviews because it was the best looking recycling bin I could find that wasn't over $150. It's actually great - very nice looking, large, and perfect for my purposes. I gave it four stars because it doesn't have the "Recycle" word and symbol on it -- it is completely blank! Now everyone in my cafe is constantly asking me if it's trash or recycling. The picture misrepresents the product.I purchased this for my walkout basement, which has a kitchen , a bar, and entertainment. At times the cans can be an issue. This has made my life so much simpler. I think it looks great where I have it, it is solid and normal trash can liners work.Don't waste you money! Product arrived today in an undamaged bow. As soon as we took it out you could see it was dented. The material it is made from is not much more solid than an aluminum can. It looks great in the picture but not worth the price. I also purchased the Safco 9893 Reflections Push Top Waste Receptacle made by the same company at about the same price. It is very well made and solid construction. How the same company can offer two products at the same price with totally different quality standards is beyond me. Save you money and buy a plastic recycle container, they're much better made.Good size for collecting aluminum cansThe can is strong and substantial. It did not come with a recycle label, which I had to purchase separately. If it was separate, kit was lost in the packaging.great product except it doesn't have the recycle logo on it.
