The look is what you want, the product is a hit or miss..The cork does not come out of the bottle every time , a under achieving product.Not happy with such a high price!

Looks great on our bar
December 29, 2012
I actually owned one of these for a year when the mechanism inside jammed and PB replaced it. The second one did the same thing shortly after we started using it. PB very graciously refunded my money. I love it so much that I decided to try another one hoping it is improved...if not, I'm counting on PB's great customer service again.

Avoid this product
October 2, 2012
My husband bought this for me as a gift. It broke the third time we used it. I got a replacement a few months ago and haven't used it much. I just tried to open a bottle of wine and the plastic piece (same piece that broke last time) just cracked and broke on this one. This is not a quality item and sadly since my husband threw away the receipt, we couldn't get our money back. I'll be returning this opener as well, this time for a credit

Gorgeous but did not last
September 8, 2012
This is gorgeous but lacks quality. My husband bought this for me for a Christmas gift last year and I am very disappointed it did not last. For the price, one would expect it to last for years. Appears as though they have a design flaw because my symptoms are the same as what others posted....very disappointed.

Great addition to Wine Bar
January 24, 2012
Wine opener is a gorgeous addition to my wine bar. It's a quality accessory and I use it several times a week. Like "Wineo's" comment, my original opener was defective and stopped opening bottles, however, a quick trip back to the retail store and they replaced it without hesitation. That is an example of the service a quality establishment like Pottery Barn provides. I just hope this one does not end up defective too. For $199 one expects a quality product. I must also commend the on-line customer service. Since my opener was a gift, they went above and beyond trying to help me and eventually referred me to the retail store since original purchase order could not be located. Kudos to customer service!

Beautiful, functional, and unique
December 6, 2011
I am so excited that our Founders Standing Wine Opener arrived- it's beautiful, functional, and unique. I ordered it when it was on backorder and didn't expect it until the middle of January; it came over a month early and just in time for the holidays!

Broke after 3 months use
June 12, 2011
Be care with this purchase. There is a cheap piece of palastic in the inner workings that broke on ours..rendering it useless. I've looked for a replacement part with no luck.
