Product Insights
The Acacia Wood Wastebasket from Simons Maison is a sustainably sourced, FSC-certified acacia wood bin with a round silhouette exclusive to the brand and designed in Canada, featuring a magnetic swivel cover that lasts 20–100 years and is removable for drying to preserve magnet hold, but requires placement away from humidity and sunlight to avoid cracking and darkening, and cleaning only with natural soap and a damp cloth.
Verified claims
- Certification & legality
- FSC-certified and responsibly sourced acacia wood with clean legal status under CITES.
- Renewability
- Responsibly sourced acacia wood harvested in 8–12 years, yields twice the wood per land as teak, grown on degraded lands with low water and fertilizer inputs.
- Cover
- Magnetic swivel cover lifts off completely, and the permanent magnet it uses can last 20–100+ years under ideal indoor conditions.
- Acacia wood
- Responsibly sourced, FSC-certified acacia wood with a unique natural grain; Janka hardness 1,430 lbf; harvest-ready in 7–10 years.
- Design
- Round silhouette exclusive to Simons Maison, designed in Canada
- Magnet life
- The permanent magnet can last 20–100 years under ideal indoor conditions; removing the cover for drying helps protect the magnet from humidity.
- Care
- Clean only with a natural soap and damp cloth; avoid direct shower spray, and wipe spills promptly.
- Aging
- Acacia wood darkens over time with sunlight exposure.
- Hardness
- Acacia wood has a Janka hardness of 1,430 lbf, resisting scratches.
- Patina
- Darkens from golden to brown within the first year of UV exposure.
- Maintenance
- Clean using a damp cloth with natural soap; avoid ammonia-based sprays.
- Bag guidance
- Approximately 2-gallon capacity; small 2–4 gallon bags around 12–14″ wide by 16–18″ long fit best, while standard 4-gallon bags may be too large.
- Shape
- Round shape nests into curved alcoves where square bins do not.
- Lid
- Removable magnetic swivel cover conceals waste and stays shut for discreet placement.
- Placement
- Place away from direct shower spray and heating vents to prevent hairline cracks; sunlight exposure will gradually darken the wood.
- Dimensions & capacity
- Measures 8 in (20 cm) in diameter and 10 in (25 cm) tall, a compact cylindrical footprint with an approximate capacity of 2 gallons, making it suitable for compact bathrooms and tight spaces.
- One-handed use
- The magnetically attached swivel lid opens easily for one-handed disposal and stays closed when not in use.
- Sealant & moisture resistance
- Acacia wood is naturally moisture-resistant, but the listing does not specify an additional sealant; wipe up spills promptly and avoid standing water for longevity.
- Interior & liner
- There is no separate inner bucket or liner; trash sits directly against the bare acacia wood interior, and because the swivel cover sits partly inside the rim, using the basket liner-free or tucking a small bag carefully below the cover gives the cleanest result.
- Color & grain variation
- Acacia wood shifts from light golden-honey to medium brown with visible, often contrasting grain, and each piece is unique and may vary slightly from the photos.

A small wastebasket for bedrooms and bathrooms
With its compact 8-inch (20 cm) diameter and 10-inch (25 cm) height, this acacia wood bin suits light, low-volume waste like tissues in bedrooms and bathrooms, where reviewers say it fits without cluttering the room. It is not sized for kitchen duty — as a main bin it fills up quickly, so it works best in secondary, low-traffic spots. Shoppers expecting a larger bin should note it is smaller than some anticipated.[1,2]
A stylish wastebasket for bathrooms and bedrooms
This acacia wood wastebasket suits smaller waste volumes in bathrooms, where its compact footprint and elegant wood design fit nicely. Reviewers say its natural wood grain and chic, modern look can even act as a focal point in bedrooms and bathrooms.[2]
Tossing waste through the swivel-top lid
An acacia wood wastebasket with a removable magnetic swivel cover, letting you drop trash in through the top without lifting a lid off. According to review feedback, standard trash bags may not fit well with the semi-exterior lid, so smaller bags or liners that tuck in can work better, and the swing door can be stiff when new before it breaks in.[1,2]
A chic countertop bin for small bathroom items
While some purchasers expected a floor-size wastebasket, this acacia wood bin works well as a stylish option on a bathroom countertop or vanity. Keep in mind its capacity is limited, so it suits small everyday items rather than large amounts of waste.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Acacia Wood Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact, rustic-elegant wood bin for a bathroom or bedroom: it measures 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter and 10 inches (25 cm) tall, is made of responsibly sourced acacia wood with metal accents, and has a removable magnetic swivel cover. Reviewers praise its solid, premium-feel construction and natural wood grain, and note each piece is unique since it is natural wood. It is not meant as a main kitchen bin—capacity is limited and it fills up quickly—and its lid design may not accommodate standard trash bags well, with the swing door sometimes stiff when new.[1,2] | Dark Faux-Wood Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact, lightweight bin for a bathroom, office, bedroom, or small space: at about 10.25 x 7 x 11.75 inches, it slides under a standard desk and fits powder rooms or tight nooks, and its warm dark faux-wood grain with smooth matte finish blends with wainscoting or wooden accents. Two oval cutout handles make it easy to move, and reviewers report it holds daily waste despite its size. Note that it is made of very strong, rigid cardboard (paper and plastic) rather than wood, so it suits everyday waste rather than heavy-duty use.[3,4] | Small Modern Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact, easy-to-clean plastic bin (7.75 by 7.75 by 9.75 inches) for tight spots like a bathroom, desk-side, or bedroom—its removable swing lid hides contents and, per customer reviews, keeps personal waste discreet and deters small dogs. It comes in Black, White, and Green with a matte finish and sleek lines that reviewers say blend into contemporary decor. Note that its small capacity fills quickly in a busy family bathroom, the lid's thin plastic hinge can snap if bent backward or dropped, and it needs smaller 4-gallon bags or produce bags as liners rather than standard kitchen bags.[5] |

Good quality
This looks really nice and the quality is good. Swinging door on top is a bit stiff. Would but again.
Cute
I love this sweet basket, it fits my aesthetic perfectly. The only comment I have is that it’s much smaller than I anticipated. Still a perfectly fine sized waste basket for a bathroom. Definitely keeping it, it’s very chic.
