Let me start by saying this little pumpkin-shaped soap dispenser is downright adorable. The amber glass gives it a warm, farmhouse vibe that instantly elevates my bathroom vanity. At just 3.25" in diameter, it fits perfectly in tight spaces—no more knocking over bulky dispensers!

The pump action is surprisingly smooth for a plastic mechanism (yes, it's plastic, but the metallic finish fools the eye). After three refills in my kitchen prep area, it still dispenses soap without sticking—though one reviewer mentioned their pump cracked after a few months. Fingers crossed mine holds up!

That included rubber mat? Genius. It catches drips and prevents sliding... until soap residue makes everything slippery (pro tip: wipe both the dispenser base and mat weekly). The short straw does mean more frequent refills, but the 8oz capacity is ideal for small households.

Durability-wise, mine survived an accidental tumble onto linoleum unscathed—though I wouldn't test its luck on tile floors. The thick glass feels substantial, unlike cheap dispensers that seem ready to shatter.

While not perfect (I wish the pump had metal components for longevity), this dispenser strikes a rare balance between form and function. It's become such a conversation starter that I'm considering buying matching units for every sink in the house!
