Know before you buy
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable and resistant to moisture, making it an excellent choice for a bathroom or powder room.
Because of its unique, hand-welded edges and open-top design, standard liners may be visible. Many users prefer to use it without a liner for dry waste or to use a discreet, clear liner tucked carefully inside.
The hand-welded edges are primarily an exterior design feature that provides an organic, artisanal texture. The interior remains smooth and easy to wipe clean.
To maintain the luster of the stainless steel, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the metal surface.
The waste basket is crafted from solid stainless steel, providing enough weight to remain stable during daily use without sliding easily across hard surfaces.
