This is the best overall rolling pin I've ever found! I've struggled for years with pie dough and between switching to using lard and this pin I can finally roll it out and get it in the pan easily. Before ordering, I searched reviews online to see what the pros recommend for a good general rolling pin and this style came up often, and small wonder!

The taper allows me to control the direction and thickness of pie, cookie and biscuit doughs much better than a straight or handled pin. It is a bit light when doing a stiffer dough like gingerbread so some muscle is required, but the control and flexibility of this pin is worth it if you only want one or two in your kitchen. Also a great price and made in the USA! Loved it so much I ordered one for my sister who loves to bake and didn't have a tapered one yet.

I had a smaller wooden rolling pin with the handles for years. I've been making pies lately and it wasn't really wide enough to roll the dough out very well, so I decided to upgrade to a nicer one. This has not disappointed! I thought it'd be weird to use because it's tapered, but it's really easy. You can get really good leverage for rolling things out, and it's really long. Great piece of kitchenware to add to my arsenal :)

Rolling pin is great BUT the sticker is TERRIBLE. These guys certainly could have ponied up the extra 2 cents to get a decent sticker for their rolling pin but instead show us that their rolling pin is worth so little respect that it gets the worst, most ragged, hard to remove sticker possible. Would not buy again simply because of the sticker.

Good handy rolling pin but doesn't hold flour that we'll so dough sticks if you're not careful. Easy to clean. Kind of large, so could be difficult to store - this won't fit in a standard utensil drawer.

I've admired the shape of this type of rolling pin for a while and finally decided to give it a try after having issues rolling out my doughs. It sounds a little silly, but I was really surprised by how much easier it made flattening out my dough for dumplings. I'm sure any type of rolling pin would do the same, but this felt like a natural jump from having always only using my hands. It's light but sturdy, and there are no handles to have to worry about in regards to them possibly breaking off. I would have preferred it be a darker wood, but I chose this one because it was cheap and well-received, so I can't judge it negatively for its color. We shouldn't judge anything negatively simply for its color.
