Vida brillanteDrink Dispenser for parties Bar Accessories Gifts for Husband Dad Man Cave Decor for Whiskey Lovers with Brass Tube &Wooden Base Suitable for Rum/Bourbon-2 Bottle

It's cool, but it was missing rubber seals for the spigots. The screws are also very tiny. It seems they should be a bit more substantial for the strength of the product, especially when it has full bottles attached.

So first of all, this is very cool looking, that's why I gave it the 3 stars. We were very excited to have it as part of our home bar area. But it is only half useful with one spout inoperable, as explained below.The assembly should be very simple and straightforward, but there are a couple of things that were a bummer:1) The holes for attaching the spouts should be pre-drilled, and the screws included should be longer and more robust for holding heavy bottles. As it is, there are 3 quite small screws for each spout, with no pilot holes, so it's either a leap of faith screwing them in and hoping that the wood won't split, or you decide to drill some tiny pilot holes on your own, and either way pray that you get them installed straight.2) The rubber washers are a special, hard-to-find size instead of a common one. One of the spouts on ours is missing this rubber washer. We visited 3 local hardware stores, including a specialty plumbing supply store, and we were not able to find a replacement. Tried to reach out to the seller, but since it is fulfilled by Amazon, it was to no avail. So we can't use one of the spouts. We received this item at no charge through the Vine program, so it can't be returned, otherwise I'm sure Amazon would take care of it. Even if they were both included, it doesn't make sense not to be able to replace the washer if needed in the future, they do eventually wear out anyway and need replacing.If you receive all the necessary components then this is a great looking piece.It's just a shame that they can't simply send a replacement washer which is probably worth 20 cents on a $70 item, that would make it not only usable but also the talk of any cocktail party and probably a lead to more sales of the item. Oh well.** update: the company reached out to me and provided some replacement gaskets/ rubber seals for the item. I increased my rating to five stars, not only is this a very cool item, but they took the initiative to reach out, and fulfilled their promise of providing the missing parts. So they get five stars both for the product and for great customer service! Bravo!

Makes a good gift since it's nice once it's all set up, but it's tedious to put together. It's a good gift, but put it together first or the receiver might resent you. We tried it with a bottle of blue label, and it was a nice touch to the party. Wouldn't try this with the bigger bottles though, it doesn't seem like it can hold up the big ones, just the standard or the small.

I wasn’t expecting this to come in pieces. You have to screw the hardware into the wood. While it has an outline of where the valves need to go it did not have any pilot holes for the screws so you are on your hands win for placement. I don’t like that because someone who isn’t handy is likely to screw them on crooked. One of the spigots was also missing a seal (which is necessary to prevent leaking) so I will have to purchase another one. While the end product is a nice setup, I am not a fan of the extra guess work you have to put in to piece this together. Just send it assembled.
