Just rubbish.
Yamazaki knows how get small spaces organized in minutes—which may explain why this trash can (in a handy set of two for large bedrooms or matching bathrooms) is actually worth a second glance. With a clean, contemporary aesthetic it’ll sidle into narrow spaces and move between rooms easily all thanks to that wooden handle.

Nice product
Elegant. Handle is easy to tip. Well made. I like them a lot. They can easily fit in any house. Not trying to hide this trash can.
Handle broke
First, I only really needed one trash can not two, but I guess I'm glad there are two because the handle broke within two weeks of use.
To be fair, we go through a lot of veggies, and we bought the cans so we could easily transfer veggie scraps from the kitchen to the compost pile. So the cans are probably holding more weight than designed for, but they are trash cans after all. The dainty-ness of the handle cannot handle much weight in the can, so maybe these are best suited for paper or light bathroom type garbage? They are beautiful though!
sleek and modern
These trash cans are sleek and modern, but in a cute, approachable way. They're also a perfect size for a small bathroom. Not large, but definitely not too small. My only grip is that they were shipped with what looked like styrofoam. As a brand that focuses on sustainable products, I would expect the packaging to follow that mission (please correct me if the packaging is some special eco-friendly version that I'm not familiar with).
