Color: Metallic White

Amazon.com Product Description

Created by world-renowned designer Karim Rashid, this waste bin--with its beautiful, contemporary curves and sleek finish--brings style to the most functional of household items. It holds up to 2-1/2 gallons and offers a "sway" lid opening for easy trash disposal and to help prevent odors from escaping. The garbage container also features a space-saving design that allows for out-of-the-way placement under a work desk or tucked into a kitchen cabinet. Because it's so pretty, however, it might be best left out in plain sight for convenient access. Even more, the unit's made of bio-degradable polypropylene, one of the least harmful plastics, which produces only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes, so no toxins get released into landfills or the air. The unit complements almost any home or office decor, and its lid removes for cleaning and emptying. Available in a variety of colors, the can measures 10 by 10 by 16 inches.

This review is from: Umbra Eco-Friendly 2.5-Gallon Sway Can, Metallic White (Kitchen)

I bought this can hoping to keep the dog from getting into the trash. The can is incredibly light-weight, and it didn't take him long to figure out that if he knocked it over, the lid would come off, and he'd have access to the contents all over the floor (arrgh, dog!). But for use as a non-doggie-proof trash can...especially for the price, this is an excellent choice. Classy colors, glossy finish...it's a great product.

This review is from: Umbra Sway Can Designed by Karim Rashid (Kitchen)

I had one of these for a few years, and it was pretty good. I never put a whole lot of trash in it, so the size was good and the durability was good. The lid recently broke, and I was glad to find that the exact same trash can was available on Amazon. It's still a good trash can today. I'd recommend it if you want a small trash can for something.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper than it looks, September 14, 2009

This review is from: Umbra Eco-Friendly 2.5-Gallon Sway Can, Metallic White (Kitchen)

This trash can is much less quality than it looks. I purchased it for my bedroom. The sway part at the top is too large for the hole and frequently sticks, making it extra work to throw your trash away. Also, the size seems much bigger online. Once a few tiems are in it, it's full (the top swings through so if anything is in it's way you can't put any more trash in it). Recommend a different product for this use.
