These buckets are pretty much what I expected, maybe a bit smaller than I had hoped for. That was just my wishful thinking. In all honesty, I was fairly confident that I knew what I was going to get. I examined the dimensions for the buckets that were posted in the product description and then recruited a few volunteer containers from the kitchen cupboards. Next, I selected a container that I thought would be a fair representation of the size of the actual product in accordance with the dimensions stated in the product description. Finally, I took the container in my grubby hands, held it up and then tried to visualize what a galvanized container of this size would look. I did not buy these buckets for any particular reason. I bought them on a whim, one of those leap of faith purchases, simply because they are so cute and I knew I could find a good use for them. They are a nice product at a wonderful price. I do not believe you wiil be disappointed. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised. I think I might use the buckets to make make a few Citronella candles, some planters and a few butt buckets. Yep, unfortunately, a few of my friends still smoke and I loathe finding butts on the ground.

After spellcheck proofed my review, I changed my rating from 4 to 5.,

Used them as centerpieces for my Grandmothers 90th birthday and they were so cute. Only con, they don't hold liquid or floral foam well. After placing floral foam it started to leak. I was able to still using them by putting the floral foam in a small plastic bag first and then in the bucket. Other than that they were a hit!

Use these in my Craft Room and even in our Home Office space, Pens, Pencils, glue sticks, etc great item to see all my things very easily.

When I ordered these buckets, I was unsure of their strength and looks. I was afraid they would be flimsy and cheap looking. NOT SO...they are perfect. They are very durable and look like mini galvanized buckets. They will be the perfect addition to my crafts...they are just what I needed. I will be ordering more soon.

I purchased these to make centerpieces for my son's graduation party. They turned out SO AWESOME! They were the perfect size to insert a 4" flower pot (I used white petunias). I tied a ribbon in the school's colors around it and reinforced with a hot glue gun to hold the ribbon in place. I then inserted senior pictures on scewer sticks inside the pot. I shopped around locally and online and couldn't beat the value. These turned out amazing and I would highly recommend! There's a million more ways I can think of using them as well and am sure they will get lots of use!

PROS: Great Price. Very Versatile. Holds 4" pot perfectly.

CONS: Can't think of a single one.

WOULD I BUY AGAIN: Absolutely! This was a great investment. The price was right and I will able to use these over and over again.
