I ordered 2 for gifts and they arrived promptly and were not damaged, thanks to great packaging. Don't be alarmed by the unpleasant smell when you open the box, as it remits when you rid the newpaper wrapping. The bowls are absolutely stunning! They have a nice moderate shine to them. The wood is unique, making each a one-of-a kind find. They are hefty and appear extremely well-crafted and durable. I am very pleased with this purchase, and now want one for myself!

I had been looking for some time for a large wooden bowl for fruit and saw this one. Everything about it is perfect except it had the strongest unpleasant odor when first unpacked – like something burning. I washed it thoroughly and over time it has faded – though after 3 weeks I can still smell the lingering odor. I am hoping it continues to fade because the bowl is perfect and absolutely beautiful.

This bowl is an example of good design; a lovely form that is highly functional. It is even more beautiful than it appears online. It reminds me of burl wood, though it is not the same. I got this bowl to hold fresh fruit on our counter to be a reminder for healthy live foods. It is just the right size and shape to hold several pieces of fruits and/or vegetables - the image online shows this well. I got two, so I could either use a second in our basement or give it as a gift. This bowl normally costs twice as much if you are lucky enough to find it. Highly recommended.

This bowl is so lovely I ordered three more as gifts.... It is also larger than I thought and deep enough for tossing big salads.

I just received my purchase today...what quick shipping! The bowls are actually larger than expected however, they are stunning. I bought them both as gifts one for a wedding gift and the other for a Christmas gift. Honestly, these bowls are so stylish and beautiful that they will compliment any table be it formal or informal. This bowl will literally put your salad to shame. Love it and hope that the recipients will have the same satisfaction. Thanks O.

Gorgeous piece! The picture does not do the figuring in the beautiful wood justice. I was also impressed by the craftsmanship that went into making this bowl. Please note that the bowl is 15" in diameter and 4" high
