Gorgeous! Sleek, highly polished, mirror finish stainless steel bucket. I ordered a bunch to use around the house. Found them to be PERFECT in the bathroom as tub side holder for shampoos, conditioners, facial scrubs, etc. It's a little wider at the top, and tapers to a slightly narrower bottom (see dimensions below). Holds about 8 or so haircare & skincare items...of course this is just an estimate. I'll tell you what's in one of mine right now. Three 13 oz. bottles, two 16 oz. bottles, one 8 oz. bottle, three six oz. tubes (conditioner & facial scrub & mask), and lastly, one 7 oz. jar plus another 16 oz. jar (both are around 3 and a half inch diameter, one's taller)...and the bucket's a bit of "overstuffed" with those 11 items. When I use up a few items, I'll scale back to 8 or 9 items only. (I tend to alternate between a lot of brands of shampoo... of those 11 items, 7 are shampoos, so I'll just scale back to 4 or 5 shampoos). The sturdy, simple carrying handle's attached to the exterior, so it does'nt detract from interior bucket space. The metal is solid & sturdy (not flimsy looking like the larger oval party bucket also offered for sale here), & so is the carrying handle (which, by the way, remains in the "down" position, loosely resting along either side of the top half opening of the bucket, and easily lifts up with a simple grasp, when you want to pick up & carry the bucket). I plan to use some in my kid's play room, the kitchen, and get some more to give as gifts...It'll be PERFECT as a wine cooler, a small beer or soda bucket, an ice bucket, or even would be great for picking berries! (For any folks lucky enough to live where that sort of thing is still done!) This bucket has a zillion and one uses, exudes a casual elegance, is adaptable all the way from formal dinner parties to kid's room for holding a lots of very small toys or crayons & markers. One thing I don't know, is whether it would be smart to try to use it for garage or outdoor storage, I'd be afraid it might rust. Although, it does seem perfect for an indoor planter! Dimensions... 8 & three quarter inch top diameter, 6 & three quarter inch bottom diameter, 7 & a half inches tall. I'm amazed & extremely pleased with the simple beauty, extreme usefulness, & versatility of this bucket. 5 stars seems insufficient...I'd give it 100! Hope this review helps if your'e on the fence about whether to buy or not...the way I do it is to try ordering one to see if I like it, then order more if yes. If not, I'd end up useing it it somewhere anyway, and just wouldn't order anymore! I have a half dozen so far, and plan to order more!

My favorite things seem to be both attractive and functional, and this stainless steel bucket qualifies on both counts. I feel a bit sheepish to lavish praise on, well, a bucket. But this is a great bucket, seriously. I've been using one as a compost pail for over a year now, and it's holding up beautifully. I did put rubber feet on it,since it sits on my concrete porch most of the time. It has a ventilated disposable pie pan for a lid, so in my mind, it's not even unsightly.

Yes, this is quite a fancy item for such a mundane purpose, and it would certainly lend itself to more elegant uses. But it's very sturdy and serviceable, and roomy enough to let me be lazy now and then. It also makes me feel extravagant every time I add a few kitchen scraps, or make the occasional pilgrimage to the compost pile.
Unless the welds on the tabs give way, this little beauty will probably outlive me, and perhaps be squabbled over by my heirs. What more could one resonably ask of a bucket, anyway?

Cute plain little ice bucket and works for the price. Nothing fancy here but works well for different glasses, cups, etc. I would buy again.

I use this bucket for camping. It is great for hauling water, collecting dirty dishes, and it is quite sturdy. I have taken it on 3 camping trips so far, and it has handled the abuse quite well. For those who do historical re-enactment camping, this is a nice looking bucket as well. For the price, this is an excellent value.

Can only echo other reviewer's comments and add that it makes a great champagne bucket also.
