In stock
Mesh wastebasket, 3 pack. Open mesh steel, about 6 litres each. No liner retention, so bags slip
Direct answer: is the Amazon Basics Mesh Wastebasket Trash Can 3-Pack right for you?
Open mesh is fine for paper and wrong for anything else -- liquid goes straight through, so these are desk-side paper bins rather than general waste bins.

Grounded in published specifications

Right product for the right person
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone wanting paper-only bins beside desks in a dry indoor office. On that basis it has been the right call. Three bins in one purchase.

No notes
Three bins in one purchase. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Steel rather than plastic, so they do not crack. Been using it now for two months.

Bought it on the numbers, and the numbers were right
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Liner". The page says No liner clip or rim retention, so a bin bag slips down inside when filled, and that is what turned up. Three bins in one purchase.

Holding up so far
Had this most of a year now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Steel rather than plastic, so they do not crack. Still mildly irritated by one thing: No liner retention, so bags slip down inside. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Fine, once I adjusted my expectations
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: No liner retention, so bags slip down inside. Open mesh leaks any liquid immediately. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Three bins in one purchase. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.
