This trash can is more expensive than most other "plastic" cans, but it is worth every penny. (I bought a nifty red one, and it perks up the kitchen.)This can is extremely sturdy--it doesn't flex, when you push in on the sides--and it hold a lot. I don't have to buy special bags for it, either. I buy a box of 30 gallon Glad ForceFlex Plus, because they're strong, and they're available most anywhere. The bag is a little large for the can, so I tie a little knot in one side of the bag's opening to make it smaller. It fits, then, and works great, plus, the bag always stays in place. It never falls into the can, when I put garbage in it, no matter how heavy the items. When the can gets full, and I remove the bag, there is still enough room left to add all the trash from several other small trash cans in other rooms.I chose this can, because it fits under my commercial stainless steel sink with plenty of room left over for the top to flip up.This can came fully-assembled and packed very well. I'm totally satisfied with its quality and with how well it works. I would definitely buy this item, again.
