THE chrome/wood combination has also hit the jackpot in Debenhams homeware department, where the Brabantia pedal bin has been the department's best seller since it was launched three weeks ago, according to sales manager David Hughes.

"It is polished chrome and is trimmed in beech, like something you'd see in Homes and Gardens. It has a great design. The liner lifts out and separates from the body of the bin."
