I have used this garlic roaster for many years and it has never let me down. My guests love the restaurant quality appetizer that I serve at every party. The roaster comes with easy to follow instructions and since the inside has a coating, it is fairly easy to clean. Yummy!

. . . If You Can Find Liners. This is truly an exquisite brand. Everything about this trash canister is fabulous. Various finishes from which to choose, ergonomically correct, well sealed, comes with complimentary can liners, great size, very well made . . . then . . . there comes the day . . . you knew it would . . . the day you need to order your first replacement can liners. Good luck. I am now completely out of liners. I have this remarkable waste disposal apparatus and cannot use it for lack of liners. I suppose I could use ordinary "tall kitchen trash bags", but Brabantia has designed this little lovely to be just not quite the same size as those old ready made can liners. So . . . I frantically search the far corners of the internet and beyond in hopes of locating these precious gems to reline my ever-so-beautiful trash canister. All this said, the can is so attractive it's worth the effort. That's all from me.

If a garbage can can be cool, this is a cool garbage can. I had one of these for a few years befor it got broken (not a design flaw, a user error) and I've been missing it ever since. This can is great not just for people looking for another piece chrome. The lid does an amazing job of containing stink. Back when I was single it would sometimes take a week and a half for me to generate enough garbage to warrant taking it out. This can helped to contain the smell of that half eaten can of tuna that ended up in the first few strata of food trash.

To sum up. Go ahead, buy it... even if you don't like it, you'll be able to say that you blew $200 on a freakin garbage can.

I bought this ironing board at Target about a year ago. It's wonderful -- I ironed curtains, made a historical costume and was able to press the seams on a huge antebellum skirt with great ease. HOWEVER...when I needed a new cover, I cannot find one. I have searched the web, been to all kinds of different sites, been to every place I can think of (back to Target, Lowe's, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc.) and cannot find a 53x18 cover. Plenty of 48x18, but not the big one. I'm going to Europe this spring, so maybe I can stumble upon one there. Great board, but don't use starch because you cannot get a new cover for the board and the old one is not washable.
