CoolI originally purchased this for my son to take to college, but I thought it was so cool, I kept it for myself. It is too small for him anyway. I use a regular size grocery shopping bag to line the entire thing.

Perfect fit for narrow spotThe Skinny Can is truly skinny...fits in the narrowest spaces. I tucked it between the toilet & the wall for a low-profile but stylish addition to the bathroom. Lightweight but well made. Pretty color.

PERFECT little trash canOk 99.9% of trash cans are round... this one is OVAL and it fits 8x11 pieces of paper along with other trash, the handle is perfect to carry and to dump items into a larger trash bin for trash day. Sleek and slim perfect for small places in between toilet/sink, desk/wall and bedside. Going to replace all my round bins to this fun design!

So handyI bought this trash can to use in my utility room, and it's the perfect shape and size. I especially like the little cut out on the end which makes it easy to grab and empty or transport to another location.

great space saverI bought the bin in the beautiful aqua color to go in the cabinet under my bathroom sink. I love the slimline design because it maximizes the depth of the cabinet rather than the width. Had I bought a round trashcan it would have taken up all the space but now I have room to put things along side. I love clever design!!

Stylish Skinny & Space SavingThis was a great compliment to the color scheme for my daughter's dorm room. The sleek style makes it easy to put under the desk or slide in a small space. It's very easy to rinse off and clean but if you can find trash bags to fit the can, I do recommend buying some.

Good for tight spacesLove the slim profile of this trash can. Plastic grocery bags fit perfectly inside as a liner, too. If it came with a flip top, it'd be perfect for the bathroom (you know, in that narrow space between the toilet and the wall?). As it is, I just use it in my bedroom, underneath the desk.

Great for odd spacesI wanted to replace the waste basket in my bathroom, which is an odd shape. The waste basket was blocking the bottom drawer of the vanity (because there is no other space that it could fit in) and it became annoying to move it every time I needed to open the drawer. I replaced it with the Skinny Can and it's now occupying the gap between the wall and the bathroom vanity, which is only wide enough to fit it! Also, the handle makes it easy to pick up and change the trash bag. I'm giving this 4 stars because the opening is quite narrow compared to a standard size waste basket & trash sometimes rebound & fall onto the floor. But, this is something that I'll have to get used to & I'll have to change my habit of tossing trash, lol. All in all, this is a great solution for odd and/or tight spaces!

Smaller than expectedThe waste basket is really small. Even though I read the dimensions it just seemed like I was going to be getting a bigger item. It's in my son's nursery and luckily he's not making a lot of garbage yet so it's great for right now!

What color blue is the "periwinkle"?
Just bought some blue desk accessories from Cont Store. Is this wastebasket close to navy? or close to a light blue?
Asked by: Dormshopper
The can is closer to light blue, but had a purple tint.
