I used to have these all over my house (about 10 years ago).  They were wonderful.  Hid the unsightly mess of cigarette butts and ashes. Even cut down on the odor.  So I was excited to see these on line.  Unfortunately, like most things these days, they have become cheaply manufactured.  The metal is thin on the lid making the whole ashtray is unsturdy.  It is still an adequate product, just more cheaply made.
