Marble Pattern Trash Can with Lid – Black, Cream or Wood Grain

The word to hold onto is pattern. This is a bin finished to look like marble, wood grain or a plain cream, not one made of stone, and the three options are Imitation Wood Grain, Marble Black and Cream White. A patterned bin exists for a straightforward reason: in a bedroom or an office it sits out in the open, where a plain plastic one announces exactly what it is.

A lid changes what a bin can be used for. Open bins are fine for paper, but anything else needs a barrier between the contents and the room. The lid is also the part that decides how long a bin lasts, since a hinge or a press mechanism is the only moving component in the object and it absorbs every open and close for the whole of its life.

Cream White is the one that vanishes in a bathroom. Marble Black suits an office where the bin stands beside a desk. The wood grain works in a bedroom that already has wood furniture in it.
