I am a firm believer in having everyday objects, including trash cans, be a beautiful thing that brings joy. I have two of these beauties available - they were manufactured by National Products, Inc. and are made of American Walnut and Rustfree Aluminum in a pretty gold tone. They are heavy, good quality, and in lovely condition. Perfect for an office or a bathroom with a pedestal or wall-mounted sink. (And will help you ditch the plastic!)
