First I really expected this to be about a fourth smaller of its actual size. Second, the size fits a cup holder in a semi truck which this was intended for. Stainless steel makes it easy to clean up, the cigarette holder is actual size, no pinching or tearing when lifted out. It is classy looking for an ash tray. It does not spill out when turned over with the lid on it. I cannot wait to put this to use camping without the fear of fires happening with just a simple move of closing the lid.
