"This ice bucket is super cute! Although I thought it was made of wood, I found out it’s stainless steel designed to resemble teak. It’s perfect for small gatherings, but just a bit too small for larger ones."

"I was looking for a nice-looking ice bucket under $20 for my outdoor drink station. While it's not Yeti quality and wouldn't keep ice solid for days, it was perfect for our 5-6 hour parties. It's lightweight with a plastic-like insulated interior. I LOVE the scoop and the convenient hook. The lid had some condensation during hot days, but the ice was fine. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase and confident it's suited for many summers. Highly recommend!"

"As a private bartender, I thought this ice bucket was great. However, after 2-3 uses, the scoop stained the ice, so I had to switch to a plastic scoop. The bucket now has noticeable water stains and isn't advertised as stainless steel. If you plan to use it frequently, it might not be the best investment."

“I absolutely love this ice bucket! It looks great, is solidly built, and my ice stays frozen for a long time. The tongs are just what I need for easily grabbing ice. Highly recommend this product!”

“I’ve entertained for decades, and this ice bucket is by far the best! It has excellent thermal properties and the drain tray keeps ice from sitting in water. I would 100% recommend it to anyone.”

“We accidentally left this ice bucket overnight, and the ice was still frozen the next morning! The double-walled design is impressive and easy to clean. Great value for money, I even bought one as a gift after seeing how well it works.”
