Unlike the reviewer whose phone was made of "light plastic," ours certainly is not. In fact, it weighs a hefty 55 ounces, 3 and a half pounds. It rivals the phone of my childhood in being as heavy and as solidly constructed as the original was. It also has a volume control under the base which the original did not. In short, it's not only a trip down memory lane, but a solid instrument as well--rare in these days of cheap phones. It goes beautifully with my rolltop desk and lifts my spirits as well. Modern convenience with a traditional flavor leads us to say, we love it! We think you will, too!

We built a new house and specifically had a place in a wall built just for this phone. It is just like my grandmother's. When I saw this phone available, I ordered it and I love it. It's not our main functioning phone, but I use it often. It is a real conversation piece for youngsters that have only experienced todays phones. It works great and I love the looks of it. The ringer even sounds like the old phones. I've wanted one like this for as long as I can remember.

I have always wanted a phone that looked like something they used on the Waltons. Now I have it. My kids think it's a kick, and we have a history lesson every time we use it. With things so high tech, it's nice to bring a little of our telephone past into my home. The sound is great, as are the redial and flash features.

This phone looks fantastic, the price is totally right and I, too, have no idea what one reviewer is referring to when he complains it's made of lightweight plastic. On the contrary, I was really pleased how heavy and absolutely solid and well-made this phone feels from top to bottom. I received far, far more than I expected and how often does that happen?

This replica that sits on my bar becomes the center of attention. Most remember the old movies with reporters running out of the court room and grabbing this model of phone. It is a well built replica with the weight and feel of the original phone (I am an old guy and I remember!). The dial looks like the old rotary but is easy to access push buttons. You can hear very well because the receiver fits of over the ear. I also bought the replica Crosley pay phone.

i bought this phone for my roommate for Christmas. It is very heavy and feels solid and well made. It is no an everyday phone since it is best held when used. It works well and sounds good while talking on it. People on the other end say it sounds like a regular corded phone. I like this phone and its style factor.

My mom bought me the candlestick phone and it is great. My friends love it, too. It looks really cool and the ringtone it just like my grandmas old phone. I can hear everybody really clear and they have no problem hearing me. I am very happy with this phone.

This phone is as authentic as a replica can be; even down to the mechanical ringing bells. Very solidly constructed & works well. Totally love it!

Because if its weight & requires two hands to use, not too practical for lengthy phone calls though.

Good build quality, very solid. Cords are cloth covered like the originals. Earpiece feels weighty in my hand. It has controls for redial and flash hidden as a pushable center button. Tone/pulse, earpiece volume, and ringer off/on are switches under the base.

I like its retro look. Ringer is a real bell sound (pleasantly nostalgic).

I only marked it down one star because I would have preferred the sound and feel of a real, spring-loaded rotary dial, but the push-button tone dial is probably more useful for most people.

You get what you see.

I ordered this phone for my apartment because I like the look of the candlestick phone and thought it would make a great accent piece for my apartment. Considering most people don't use landline phones anymore I figured I would just use this phone sparingly. When it arrived, I was suprised how heavy and sturdy the phone was constructed. The hearing quality is better than my cellphone and I find excuses to use the phone now. I recommed this phone, fun to use and have in your home. Only complaint, I wish it was rotary.
