I feel like it's an unfinished product. Unacceptable for the price point.
I ordered this months ago and at first I loved it. It took quite a while to arrive but I knew it was custom made so I was happy to wait. But I wish I would have taken pictures of when the water spots began to form. That's when I realized this product isn't finished.<br /><br />Our dog Oakley is not the most messy drinker but she's certainly not the cleanest. And even though this was kept indoors water spots were forming all over the wood from her lapping up her water. I was pretty upset that they didn't put any sort of water resistant coating on this to protect it. Especially if you're spending $100+ on this.<br /><br />I'm very rarely disappointed in a product but this one I am because who expects a dog bowl to not get wet? It seems like woodworking 101 that you should protect your project with some sort of clear finish to prevent scratches and water splashes.<br /><br />I unfortunately kept putting it off to protect the wood on this and we moved temporarily into a home where the dogs bowl is kept outside. It rained one time and now this thing is like a very light gray unlike the nice dark gray like when we got it.<br /><br />Honestly if it just would have been finished right with some protective coating I would have been totally happy. It's cute, I like the design, the original color was nice the build seems sturdy enough. I would've liked to be able to get one a few inches taller but overall I really would have been happy. But now it just doesn't look as good.<br /><br />Note to seller: if you send me another one and protect it this time, look at the pictures and this is what I sprayed on it to splash proof the wood, I will happily change my review. But untill then, I'm very dissapointed that this unfinished product is what you charge customers for and ship out.
