I was torn between 3 and 4 stars and I'm in a good mood. Lol. I needed this for years. I had no place for my trash and recycling cans except my patio. I wanted something that would cover and hide them and keep them from blowing away. Also, I kept having issues with raccoons getting into my cans because those burgers know how to take off a lid! After looking at a bunch, I chose this one. I've had it for two years now and just getting around to the review.
I put it together by myself. I don't recommend this if possible ;) But it was doable and I'm capable. Looks great. One of the best practical home purchases I've made.
Now for my concerns/issues ... when the trash cans are not full inside, if there is a strong wind, this thing slides. So far, on three or four occasions, this baby has moved several yards after a storm. Last spring, it tipped right over and landed in my backyard and that time it was actually completely full. Not a lot you can do about that unless you bolt it to the wall of the house and that isn't happening. Just making sure you know, in itself, it's not very heavy.
The reason it loses a star for me is the lid. Since day one, the lid never sat completely flat and flush on top of the unit. It's almost bowed so that its higher on the sides. It's on correctly, it just doesnt lay flat. The center locking mechanism keeps the center down but there's nothing to push down the sides. And the metal 'hinge' sometimes sticks. Over the last two years, this has worsened more. So there is a gap of about 3-4 inches on both sides. Among other things, this allows smell to escape (I have 5 cats, so that's a lot of litterbox goodies), and water can seep inside, as could small animals. But let's be honest, once I put it together there was no way I was taking it apart and sending it back!
So, it's a fair piece and I don't know if that was a defect with mine or all of them. But I'm definitely glad I invested in one of these. Photos included from day one to today so you can see the long term use.. Maria. Conshohocken, PA. 2018-10-20 08:40:17
