Love this.I have the gator. It was a bit darker than I anticipated from the photo online so I almost returned it. I let it sit out, unused for a few days & it grew on me fast. It’s a great conversation poece on the table. People think it’s darling & I have since fell in love with it. I want the paper towel holder now! ? Con: I used a bit of sand paper to smooth the edge of the metal twist cap. I noticed I’d probably get a superficial cut from trying to open it to refill bottles. It’s just the metal cap edge has a little bit of an outward flare on my set. Honestly? Every basic salt/pepper shaker has the same issue. That metal is thin.I love my new best friend, Mr. Alligator salt & pepper shaker holder....came delivered in a sturdy protective package...he's my new RV camping buddy & looks sweet on the picnic table...I can change out my shakers so easy to my own choice... .thank you for making him!!The arrival of this package made my day! This is just too cute for words. Made from resin, the Black Lab has his paws around the salt and pepper shakers. His vest has loops for shotgun shells and a pocket on either side. What you don't see in the ad is the back of the set. The dog is wearing a camo hunting vest, partially visible in the front but really visible on the back. You can even see the black stitching on the vest armholes, collar and hem. Then, get this!, the dog has a rifle on a sling across his back and a camo hat to boot. Adorable. The colors are amazingly bright. Unit is about five and one half inches high. The item was package very well with no damage. No scratches or marks. Great little fun gift item. I love, love, love it. Wish they had other dog breeds so I could give these as gifts.Definitely sturdy... it was delivered 8pm with just a label slapped on the actual box and tossed on my front porch from about 5 feet away... I had to open to make sure it wasn’t broke and thankfully it was fine.... the the task came of removing the UPS sticker from the box- gave it to someone that has an extensive rooster collection and she love how whimsical it is... she had it on her table the next time I visitedI have purchased this item twice as gifts for clients. It is as pictured, sturdy, nicely painted.....very happy with the salt and pepper shaker.I switched out the salt and pepper shakers for mini whiskey bottles, as it sits on our bar. I also have parrot doing the sam thing. So much fun.This was a Father's Day gift for the husband. Very sturdy and beautiful. Loved it!Fun salt cellar. Sadly given away as Christmas present so I won’t get to use it. Excellent dispatch response and packaging. Thanks.I have a lot of roosters. I call them something else, though, and that would get me banned from Amazon. This one is big, a great big rooster and he sits on my table. A little salt, a little pepper, and my kitchen is complete. Love touching this big boy every day while I shake my salt onto my steak.Very pleased with the "Rooster" Salt and Pepper Shaker, the size was larger than I anticipated and had a nice colorful paint job, was a gift for my Mom who collect Roosters/Chickens for the Kitchen, she was happy to add to her collection.I bought this for a gift for my family member for Christmas. She loved it. Worth the price and it's adorable.This product is well made and good value for the money.
