Know before you buy
The Sterling Check pattern is hand-painted onto the heavy-gauge steel underbody. Because each piece is crafted by hand, you may notice slight variations that make your specific bin unique.
Yes, its decorative design makes it a versatile storage piece. It works well for holding magazines, knitting supplies, or even as a stylish container for a potted plant.
No, this bin does not include a removable liner or inner bucket. It is designed as an open-top vessel, so you may want to use a standard kitchen bag if you plan to dispose of wet waste.
To maintain the glossy finish, wipe the bin down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the hand-glazed surface.
The rim is crafted from stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion. However, to keep it in the best condition, it is recommended to keep the bin in dry areas like bedrooms or offices rather than damp bathrooms.
