Product review (5 stars): "Cool" Fridge ...
Foremost, while I have infinite faith in Amazon, I have virtually none in UPS, FedEx, USPS, or the even zanier fly-by-night delivery companies. So, my worries began the instant I placed my order. Would the glass front be shattered? Would there be dents? Would it work?! So, I was washed in relief when I unboxed the fridge to find another box. Within that hard slip-cover box were strong cardboard supports for the sides of the fridge AND a Styrofoam sheath covering the glass area. The entire fridge was also covered in a plastic bag to prevent any scratching. Therefore, do know that this company and Amazon have prepared for all eventualities! Phenomenal!

Also, do know that if you are like me (petite), you may need an extra person to help get this off your porch and into your home. There was, literally, no way that I could lift it. So, if you are tiny and limited in your lifting capacity, do have another person in the ready to give you a hand. (It looks small, and even though it is empty, it is HEAVY!)

With a perfect delivery conquered, we were on to the item itself. The look is stylish and polished. And, the capacity is ridiculous! This holds SOOO many more cans than I pictured. We had three cases of San Peligrino (of varying flavors) and two of Coke. It barely made a dent! For us, this is terrific (since we are all lovers of carbonated beverages). By morning, all drinks were delightfully chilled.

We considering adding this to one of our spare bedrooms for fun (kind of a mini-bar effect for our guests), but we could not reconcile the look of this with the overall decor of the room. So, we decided to use it in the game room (a finished basement). What is relevant here is that we noticed that it operates fairly quietly. When we first plugged it in, I actually leaned down and put my ear to the back. Granted, the television was on, but I think this could be an option for those who want that "mini-bar" experience without disturbing the sleep of their guests.

This is a fun, whimsical fridge that is both functional (by having this in the game room, it saves the kids a NOISY two floor climb to the kitchen) and quite attractive. This is highly recommended to any family seeking a neat beverage cooler for their home, summer home, or cabin.
