We have this trash for years at two jobs. With its slim shape, it fits well next to or under the desk, without being in the way. The opening is the user inclined, which is also handy both when inserting and during emptying. Stylistically it is so inconspicuous that he virtually fits in any office environment. It is dimensionally stable and polypropylene, ie it can withstand both accidental kicks and any spills. If you do not grossly abused him, he is likely to last forever.
