We were pleasantly surprised with this purchase.  It actually holds a good amount of beverages (pop cans, beer bottles, juice boxes, whatever you need);  the well inside is fairly deep and accommodated wine bottles nicely.  The plug inside allows for easy draining...just remember to re-plug it before you fill with ice the next time.  ;)  It matches our patio furniture beautifully.  This is perfect for evenings on the deck with a small group of friends.
