Patio Cooler

just a really nice ice chest, I really love it.

It is not often that I write a review bad or good, this cooler is an exception. It did arrive on time it was not that difficult to put together, The quality is horrible. There were splinters of wood all over. The lid frame was seperating from the frame that holds the plastic inside top. i bought this for myself and as a git for my son and his family and I am so sorry that I did., it was a waste of good money. I would return except I have put it together and no way to get it to a store.The one things I do like is that it is cute, but that does not make up for the shabby quality.

I received this today and it was a little scratched up during the shipment process. All parts were included. During assembly, I noticed that these pieces are FRAGILE so be very careful putting it together. Everything fit nicely and once completed, it appeared to be sturdy enough to do the job. Hopefully, the quality will be ample, and we will have this for years to come but you can tell, it's not made to last forever that's for sure.

It was easy to assemble, looks great and it hold Ice all day long. Bought two and we love them both. Great decor as well.

My wife and I have always wanted one of these and we almost bought the Coke cooler, but my wife loves antiques and anything patriotic; so this was a no brainer.The cooler was delivered when it was supposed to and the box was a little damaged, but thankfully nothing inside was affected.I may have looked at the directions wrong, but there were a lot of extra screws in this package. I didn't use all the screws for the leg reinforcements; it seemed a bit of overkill and by the time I got to that step, I had been manually turning screws for a while. I was afraid to use my drill driver since the wood seemed a bit easily split. Cranking down a couple of the screws you hear a crack. I examined the body of the cooler and didn't see anything.After the cooler was fully assembled, we took it outside and filled her up! I bought a 16 pound bag of ice and it didn't fill the cooler. It might have been enough if we had filled the cooler with more drinks. Hey! It was just me and my wife! It was filled maybe halfway with cans.After we were done drinking in the sun, I opened the plug on the bottom to drain the little bit of water. I left it overnight and checked it the next morning and the ice was still there! It took a couple days for the ice to completely melt. So, the cooler works pretty well! I would recommend this to my friends.UPDATE: I've had this cooler for a while now and the exterior has held up pretty well to the elements. My problem is with the inside. I've actually only used this twice and I noticed after I drained it, there was a persistent puddle in the bottom. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I noticed on the front left edge, the seal seems to sink inside the seam. Water has seeped through and gotten between the area you keep your drinks and the exterior which I believe actually has fiberglass insulation (much like a house). The water sits there and seeps out over time, keeping water in the bottom of the drink area. The metal has now started to rust and I have to do damage control. My plan is to caulk the seam and remove as much of the rust as I can. Kind of disappointed with this considering how much I paid.As a result I have reduced my previous score of 5 stars to 3. I will post pics later.
