Barrel was in very good condition and solid! I worked on the barrel for about tree hours sanding, staining, polyurethaning and painting the bands as I was using it for a table base. Mine definitely had more wine stains than the one shown in the picture. It does come off fairly easy with coarse sand paper and a palm sander.

This is about the cheapest wine barrel I could find including the shipping. It looks like the one pictured, and is in GREAT shape. Has French markings on it and smells of cabernet - what more could you want? I'm going to make a sink/vanity for a powder room with it.

I love the barrel- it was exactly as I had hoped. I was surprised it had no wrapping or box- came home to a barrel on the front door step! But it only took 2-3 days after ordering to arrive. I was surprised to see our address on the side written in black permanent marker- that would have been a drag if it was a gift but turns out fine and kind of personalizes it for us. Maybe the markings were by UPS- but I'm sure the seller would take steps to avoid it if you asked in advance. I was going to put marble on top but really love the look as is. I would highly recommend if you want something authentic!

Great product! Shipped within the time frame promised, and product is exactly as advertised. Very few marking on barrel as far as vintage or vineyard, but the year is visible on it. The aroma coming from the inside is intoxicating. Can't wait to take a peek inside and see the staining. I'm looking forward to purchasing again for more projects. The shipping is "steep", but in reality, if you factor total cost spent, still a decent price for the quality of a used barrel. My only advice would to remember it is a used barrel you are purchasing. Some of the photos are of new ones, so don't get your hopes up.

Saw some reviews of the shipping address being written in sharpie, but everything was peel and stick labels. Came off without any residue or resistance.

Just as described, smells like wine. Heavy, and had to roll it in the house because I couldn't lift the barrel. I plan to sand it and stain with Tung oil, and create a top to use it as my kitchen table.

I ordered two barrels from this seller to use as decor for my daughters wedding. Both barrels arrived the same day a few days later. They are identical and well made. I have not tested them in their ability to hold water and really don't intend to, but I would definitely recommend these to anybody looking for consistently clean, heavy and well made barrels for decorative use.

First, the item arrived much sooner than expected, almost a week. Second the barrel was in great shape, better than the picture depicted. My intent was to use it for a table base and it took very little effort to make it furniture grade by my definition.

Added a pic what the barrel looked like when I got it with a marine emblem I covered the hole with and another pic when I finished a bar out of it.
