Know before you buy
No, this model does not include an inner liner or bucket. It is designed as a standalone decorative piece, so we recommend using it for dry waste or with a discreet liner if disposing of damp items.
To maintain the luster of the brass, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the textured façade and the metal finish.
The Humbolt is crafted from high-quality metal with a polished finish. While it is durable, brass can develop a natural patina if exposed to high humidity or moisture over long periods, so it is best suited for dry areas like offices or bedrooms.
Yes, the piece is designed with a substantial feel and quality construction, ensuring it remains stable on the floor without sliding or tipping easily.
The waste basket features a square profile measuring 8 inches by 8 inches at both the base and the top opening, with a total height of 11 inches.
