barillio Black 23-Piece Bartender Kit Cocktail Shaker Set : Stainless Steel Bar Tools With Sleek Bamboo Stand, Velvet Carry Bag & Recipes Booklet | Ultimate Drink Mixing Adventure

Wood Color is Way Off and Black Not What Expected. The color shown in their photos is not anything like the color you will receive. I paid the extra money to get the black set because it looked like it was closer to the tone I wanted, but the color they sent was way lighter and I should have just saved the $15 and got the stainless steel version instead. As for the "black" steel... it's only black when looked at from certain angles. It's more of a grey stainless steel from others. I with it was a little better burnishing so it actually appear to be blacker all around. The 23-pcs is a bit inflated because they give you three extra rubber tops and two cleaning brushes. Their are other sets on Amazon at half the price that would suit you better since they have all the same items without artificially inflating the count of items in the set. The shaker is not good as others I have so I'll be using them instead; and that makes the set mismatched going forward. I'm going to try and stain the bamboo stand at some point. I don't know if it will take a stain, but I'll give it a shot. All in all, the sets not the worst, but not the best. I should have just gone with a less expensive option. Live and learn.

I ordered the black set with bamboo. The black is okay, not exactly black but dark enough, but the wood color is grossly misrepresented in the pictures. In the listing, it appears to be almost a pretty medium walnut color. In reality it's closer to a bleached oak. It looks ridiculous with the black. This is supposed to be a Christmas gift, and I'm going to try to order a different one from another company. If I get it in time, I'll be returning this one.

Received the Items with minor scratches. Items are solid.

I like the set it's pretty nice with the holder and it looks nice at the bar. However, the finish on this leaves something to be desired. I have a feeling this set won't stand up to time. I just recieved this and from the picture you can see the finish is already starting to come off. I'm not sure if this a one off but it's still a bit disappointing and makes me wonder about quality control. If the manufacturer can make it right I will change my review at that point but right now 3 stars.

Overall - we love this and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the craft of homemade cocktails. Which we have mastered during this pandemic. It’s nice enough to leave out on display on our hutch and receive many compliments on it. Only downside is the spoon and muddler fall over whenever I move it. Not a huge deal - I get annoyed and my husband laughs at me. So he enjoys that feature.
