5.0 out of 5 stars It's a plant stand too!, December 10, 2010

This review is from: Umbra Treela 3-Gallon Polypropylene Waste Can, Cherry Wood grain (Kitchen)

I turn (one of) my Umbra wastebaskets upside down and it makes a pretty decent, and fairly inexpensive small plant stand. (Of course it is highly recommended to completely empty the can before you redeploy the unit as a stand)

You can check-out what I mean by rolling over my Customer Image above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful real-wood-look of practical, washable plastic, August 13, 2010

This review is from: Umbra Treela 3-Gallon Polypropylene Waste Can, Cherry Wood grain (Kitchen)

The cherrywood-look version is beautiful; it looks like high-quality wood or wood veneer, with the woodgrain running horizontal, sideways. I'm glad it does not look anything like the fake wood laminate that so much cheap furniture is covered in. However, the inside is a solid brown that looks like the plastic it is. It is not obvious that it is plastic, unless you are standing directly over it in good light, or you pick it up -- it feels like plastic.

We actually prefer plastic for this use, because it can washed throughly. We probably have more wastebaskets than the average household. Our family suffers from allergies. We go through a lot of kleenex on days when allergies are bad, and then there is the occasional cold virus. I hope I'm not grossing you out.

We bought the cherrywood-look version of this wastebasket, because I wanted something pretty enough for the family room or living room, but on a budget. The cherrywood color is close enough to teak, that it looks especially good with our mid-century Danish modern style furniture.

The type of plastic seems sturdy. It is somewhat thick, and just slightly flexible. It does not seem like that brittle type of plastic, that quickly shatters or cracks.

An alternative use for this might be as an umbrella stand.

I was excited to find this on Amazon. I was tempted to purchase a similar wood trash can in cherry at a different website for much more (~$100) just for the appearance. This adds class to my office as opposed to the standard 'office issue' unattractive cans that adorn most offices. I'll likely purchase more for my home.
