Although this is beautifully made and very sturdy, I just can't get rid of the odor that is coming from the material it is made of.

I love the look of this wastebasket and it was perfect in my tropical decorated bathroom. BUT, it smelled musty. I left it in the sun daily for two weeks and it still smelled so I bought some clear acrylic spray and sprayed it inside and out. It still smells (but not as badly). Right now, after a month, it is on the shelf outside the garage and I am hoping it will eventually degas whatever it is and be able to come inside. It might work in a larger room with more air circulation but in a small bathroom the smell is not acceptable. After a couple of months on my garage shelf it has now lost the smell and is back in the bathroom as the perfect little tropical trash can that I wanted - just about 6 months later.

I was leery about spending so much on a wastebasket, but am glad I did. This thing is sturdy! My only slight complaint is that it has a bit of a strange odor to it when you first receive it, but that dissipates after a while.

I almost didn't buy this because of the reviewers who said their wastebasket arrived with an intense, lingering odor, but since I was looking for exactly this size and type of wastebasket and couldn't find it anywhere else, I decided to take my chances and order it anyway. I am so glad I did. Mine doesn't have a noticeable odor and the quality is great. The wastebasket is supported by a sturdy skeleton of wires, so it will maintain its shape, and it is heavy enough that it won't tip over at the drop of a hat. I love it!

I read the reviews that mentioned terrible odors as soon as the package was unwrapped and decided to see for myself. I bought two of these waste baskets for an office that I share with my husband. The room is roughly 17x15 and I wanted the color and texture to compliment our wood floors and black desks. There was and is no odor. They are woven tightly so if you are using for paper waste, there is no need to have a "trash bag" liner.

The fiber is really thick and the basket is sturdy. I am considering buying more...it is so attractive and I don't see it falling apart anytime soon.

This basket is the perfect size for small areas yet large enough to hold plenty of throw-aways. It is very sturdy and weighed more than we expected. The quality is top notch. Should you need a sturdy, attractive waste basket, you won't be disappointed with this one. It's a keeper.

This is a great basket for my new bathroom. It is just the right size and very sturdy. The photo color is accurate, and I have not noticed any unusual smell. I expect to enjoy using this basket for many, many years.
