Would need to get the biggest size, for my new kitchen, which isn't even built yet, but this would be perfect for my planned colour scheme.....once I'd got it here's be no going back though......

Hmm - not keen although I like Orla Kiely patterns. I think it could date very quickly and I prefer something less obtrusive, in a cupboard of you have the space.

I really don't like it at all but if you do and you have the money then YANBU.

Not my thing either style-wise OP, but if that's what floats your boat then why not. We spent more than that on a Wesco bin and personally - whilst I agree with other posters that bins should be less obtrusive if poss - I'm not keen on keeping my rubbish in a cupboard......

Well, I LOVE it! Why shouldn't your bin make a statement? That one would cheer me up every time I threw something into it Smile

If you go off it you can recoup some of the cost by selling on to me Smile

Plus, you could let it tour your house - keep loo rolls in it in the bathroom, dirty washing in the bedroom, the possibilities are endless...

I started off thinking I didn't like it but came round to it and am now thinking it's quite nice - why do bins need to be so dull?!

I guess if you use the cost per wear idea but instead cost per opening then it won't be so bad!

Raphaella we too have a Wesco bin, it looks like a large orange penis and I love it. DD1's friend (aged 6) told us we had a weird bin Smile.
