First and foremost, this bottle is gorgeous! I’m grateful to Blenko for offering this bottle online after such high demand for it. They did what any great business would do— they listened to their customers and delivered, yet somehow that isn’t enough to satisfy some.
Unless your plan was to re-sell your bottle and make a profit, surely you can still appreciate the craftsmanship and excellent response from Blenko without needing to leave a poor review (this is what their customer support is for). This is still a limited edition bottle, every single bottle is unique, and Blenko had no idea what the demand for this would be. They are doing the best they can, and negative reviews will only hurt a small business you claim to care about and love. The more of us who support Blenko and feel included by them will always outweigh exclusionary practices and a scarcity mindset.
The water bottles in scarlet and cobalt are beautiful. The colors are vibrant. Perfect for America's celebration.
I know these are supposed to be gently screwed into the ground, but we found a sturdy stake and installed it in the garden slightly above our plantings. It's gorgeous especially when the sun hits it. Tangerine color seems to change depending on the light. Fun and elegant
