I'd venture to guess that anyone giving this product a 5-star review hasn't owned it for very long. While it is beautiful to look at, and bamboo is one of Earth's most renewable natural resources, this pail is a waste of money. It is composed of narrow strips of bamboo glued together, meaning there are plenty of seams just waiting to burst. For my pail, that took about two months of light use. Suddenly, one of the seams separated, and it's extremely difficult to glue back together properly. Also, the plastic holding the charcoal filter against the bottom of the lid broke free after about two or three weeks, so every time I lift the lid, the filter falls out.
In this instance, bamboo is not the better choice. Do yourself a favor and buy stainless steel. What good is a renewable resource if it winds up in the landfill after minimal use?

Liked the way this looked and so I bought it but within a short time the bamboo around the inner container split apart, the bamboo bottom separated and the top, as other reviewers have stated, comes apart and doesn't fit back together again.
In the end all that works is the inner plastic pail....worth a dollar - not $41.94 with tax. Great concept very poor execution. I asked for a refund in less than a year and the company refused. Don't buy this pail unless you want to end up with the inner plastic pail only.

This pail is very attractive. It blends right in on my counters and I have actually had several people ask me what it is for! The plastic insert is dishwasher-safe, which is a plus and it holds enough scraps for our family of three that we only need to take it out twice a week. Great product!

An attractive idea that is not well made
I love my compost pail -- it looks great on the counter, and works great! I'm an avid composter, but I wanted something that I wouldn't need to empty every single day. Read more

Good, but did not last
This was great to have for compost, but did not last more then six months before it cracked. If you are not a heavy user, it may last longer.

Horrid
At first, this is a beautiful product. The bamboo exterior is attractive and it doesn't look entirely out of place on a countertop. Read more
