Mixed feelings - If you are particular, read before purchasing
This item works well. It does the job. I purchased this item because it had a minimalist appearance and is offered in two colors [which I will call "Walnut" and "Bamboo"] that work well with a contemporary home.<br /><br />These positives stated, I will say that the "color" or "fake veneer" that is supposed to look like wood has one manufacturing defect. There is a noticeable seam around the center of the container that is both distracting and cheapens the product. Instead of feeling like wood or even a veneer, the seam gives it away as a decal.<br /><br />I have purchased both the "walnut" and the "bamboo" options and kept the latter ["bamboo"] because the seam is less severe. Unfortunately I cannot find any streamline lotion warmers or I would return this one.<br /><br />Lastly, this unit comes with ONE oil bottle. I do not like the GOLD shiny ring around the oil bottle pump because it is not in line with a minimalist aesthetic. If you make custom oil mixtures with essential oils, it is nice to have more than one bottle. For this reason I purchased separate bottles from the seller DevLon that are described as having the same OZ. Unfortunately the GOLD-RIMMED bottle that comes with the warmer is WIDER than those sold on the website [even though the photos show the same exact type of distinctive pump]. The problem with this is that the replacement bottles don't touch the warming element. There is a gap and so the oil does not get as warm with the WHITE rimmed replacement bottles in the way it does with the GOLD rimmed one.<br /><br />In the end I kept the original bottle and swapped out the pump from a new one... leaving me with only one bottle/one scent option.
