Not enough spaces

By T

from Worcester, MA on 10/28/2007

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

The personalized tub is great, however, I wanted to give it to a friend getting married this December with their first names and date of their wedding on the tub, but there weren't enough spaces even to spell out 'December 8, 2007'. That's ridiculous! The number of symbols per line is too few!

Great concept, but not as described

By Sam the shopper from CA on 10/27/2007

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

I thought this would be a wonderful gift, but was a bit disappointed when it arrived. The personalization is NOT ETCHED as it states in the description, but the words are stenciled on with white paint. When the bucket is placed in the stand, the custom personalization is not centered in the opening. Great concept, but could definitely use some improvements to make it worth the money.

Great 25th anniversary present!

By Party Pam

Cons:

Metal is thin, Wording looks cheap

Describe Yourself:

Practical, Stylish

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

The metal tin is thin and seems as though it would bend and dent easily. The personalization was not engraved, but painted on with white paint and a stensil and made the item look cheep. It also seemed as though the paint could easily scratch off. I thought it would be a classy gift, but it turned out to be a disapointment.

Waste of money

By Livin' in Leroy

Describe Yourself:

Practical

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

I purchased to put out at my pool to hold fresh towels and sunscreen, etc. I put it together and the legs wobbled. I kept it anyway, put it outside and the stand rusted in two days. I didn't feel like I could return it because it was rusted but I wasted my money and now I have no use for this. Do not waste your money on this unless you have a specific place indoors you want to use it.

This is my standard wedding gift as it has so many uses and is unique. I fill it with paper products so the recipient is ready for a barbeque. It can also be used to store fireplace wood, magazines, extra towels in the bathroom or dirty shoes by the back door. Love the personalization, just needs a little work to make it better.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

Looks great on my deck with a beautiful flower arangement inside which I can remove and fill with ice to handle the drinks for our barbeques. The only thing I do not like is the personalization. It is too high up, not centered in the circle. Also it is in white which does not show up good at all. You have to be right up to it to see the lettering, especially in the sunlight.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

Great looking beverage tub holder for parties. We just used it for a cookout this summer and it managed to hold pitchers of mixed drinks, plastic cups, and an ice bucket in the lower shelf. I also clipped a sharpie to the iron so that people could write their names on cups. I love this product! It stood out next to the multiple coolers we had with beverages in them.

I would buy this product again

I really like the look of tub and stand, however the engraving is a little less than what I expected. It isn't centered in the opening of the stand like it shows, nor does it show the name as white as in the picture.

The stand was a bit hard to put together. We actually broke a piece of the stand while trying to make it work. It turned out ok though. The lettering seems fine to me although I would have prefered different font options. We haven't tried it outside with beverages in it yet. Hope it doesn't leak!

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lillian Vernon Galvanized Tin Tub and Stand:

I was very disappointed with the quality of the tub and the stand. I bought two and will be returning it. The personalization was not centered correctly on both sets. Plus it wasn't exactly etched on the tub but rather looked like it was painted on. The stand I thought was flimsy and the black tar stuff on it kept coming off. We had set it up in the backyard for a wedding shower and it was rained briefly that night and the stand rotted after one use.

I have bought several of these for wedding gifts and also received one from our daughter as a gift. The name could have been centered better on the front of the tub, also more prominent name etching. But, overall I love them. We filled ours with ice and used for a Father's Day brunch to hold bottles of juice.
