The product is super. Looks good and works great. It really adds alot to our Country Decor.

Similar to another reviewer earlier this year, my phone will not hang up. As soon as the phone is plugged in, a dial tone is present, which is of course good. However, placing the phone on the hook does not disconnect it from the line. Even if the phone is plugged in with the receiver on the hook, it still does not disconnect. Same behavior if the speaker phone is used. The end result of this is that no phone in the house will work as it causes the phone line to behave as if there was a phone off the hook (which there is not!). This started occurring after a few days of use. Unfortunately, I purchased the item in July, and did not install it until September (we were saving it for a new house we were moving into). Had I tried it right away, I would have likely discovered the problem and have been able to return it. I will not buy another one - very disappointed. As this is the second time this has happened to two separate people, buyers should be very cautious with this as it seems to be a recurring problem on multiple phones. I suppose Amazon could have re-sold the faulty phone from the earlier reviewer (May 2009) to me (in July 2009) - I would hope that was not the case, though.

I have a victorian home with oak cabinets in the kitchen area. This phone not only looks great, it works well too. It has great reception. I can actually hear what people are saying on the other end of the line. There's room to put a pad and pencil for messages and also a small drawer, which I haven't used yet. Imagine having a drawer that is empty for a short span of time!!! The only thing I miss is caller id; however, I have another phone on the extension for that. Highly recommend the phone for visual ambiance. Solidly built.

This phone is replacing a similar wall phone we have had for decades. It has even more updated features than the first one we purchased in the 70s and the last one we purchased in the late 80s. It blends with our decor and is a wonderfully modern and functional phone.

I had a phone like this a long time ago and this is so much better than the other one was and is up to date woiith a hold button and I just love this phone and the price is so right!

This phone works well - not tinny sounding. It is a nice touch in a country kitchen. It looks good, even though it does not compare to a truly rebuilt 'old time phone'. The only thing I wish is that the crank actually made the bells ring. Everyone that sees it wants to try that out.

I bought this phone to replace the old one we called "the tunnel phone" (cause you sounded like you were in a tunnel when you used it). The sound quality and materials used are excellent. I have trouble hearing on alot of phones, but not this one, it's wonderful and looks great.

This telephone really complements the decor in our kitchen. The phone works just fine and though it looks antique it operates with all the modern conveniences. I do miss the memory dial feature from our previous phone, however. I like the quieter "doctors office" ring tone. It is not near as jarring. Overall, I am very pleased with this phone.

This phone looks great. I can even pick up the receiver and talk on it, make outgoing calls, and what not. However, when I try to hang up...the phone does not hang up. The line does not disconnect. After a short while, you get very loud beeping, and all the phones in the house are useless until this phone is disconnected from the wall. I might even make a youtube video review for you, just so you can see what happens with this thing.

I'm considering taking it apart to fix it. Otherwise...it may just be a very expensive wall decoration.

We like these retro items and this phone looks like the real thing from the 20's and works well. Nice touch to our kitchen.
