I bought this because it was nice looking, and I fully expected there to be a tradeoff between style and performance. But this thing is really well made, keeps my ice water cold for longer than I need it to, and is more than just nice looking. My only quibble is that after having it for a few months the draw on the straw can be a little blocked, it doesn't flow easily, and I can't figure out why. But most of the time it works great, and if anything, it's the best insulated tumbler I've used yet. The included plastic straw is okay, but I prefer the metal straws I bought.
