Product review (5 stars): Arrived in Great Shape, Cools Extremely Well
My husband ordered this after reading all the reviews.  His concern, based on those reviews, was poor packaging which increased the chances of the cooler being damaged during transport.  He was pleasantly assured as soon as he began removing the box, which turned out to be a box shell for the 2nd box within where the cooler was well and tightly packaged.  This is a very attractive cooler.  It took awhile, but eventually it cooled down to approximately 34 degrees Fahrenheit, which is great because his ice cubes don't melt down quickly and make the pop watery.  Plus, he likes a very cold beverage.  Only caveat is that he'd have liked to have had the ability to switch the side the door opens from, and that is not possible.  (Something he didn't consider when making the purchase, just after he set up the cooler.)  It opens as you would figure from the picture of it, from the left.
