Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Straw Dispenser

Customer Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars

I have a two year old son so we go through a lot of straws and this dispenser sits by my sink easy to reach with no fuss. The quality is fine, it's plastic that looks like glass.

Customer Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a good purchase. We use a lot of straws and this makes it a bit fun. I like the plastic since it is harder to break, but it does have a light, cheap feel to me.

Customer Review: No bargain, but works and looks great
Summary: 4 Stars

I delayed purchasing this for months, waiting for the price to come down. It never did. I didn't like spending $15 for this, but it really does look great and work very well. The dispenser came in its own box (in addition to the Amazon shipping box), and inside the box the dispenser was wrapped in plastic. It was wrapped so well that I even decided to use the straws that came with it, which I had intended on throwing away due to my previous experiences with dirty kitchenware from Amazon.

The dispenser does hold 100 straws, but 75 fit and fan out a little better. When the lid is lifted, the straws lift up and fan out, just like old-fashioned glass dispensers, and then they return easily back into the dispenser when the lid is set back down. The dispenser is about 10.5 inches tall from the base to the top of the knob.

The bottom silver-colored cup that holds the bottoms of the straws was a little crooked, but that was easily remedied by just lifting the whole inner unit out of the acrylic tube and screwing the bottom on better (it's attached to the stem, which is riveted like a screw at the bottom, with an ordinary nut).

After seeing and using this first-hand, I've decided maybe it was worth what I paid. Maybe.

Customer Review: This is really nice
Summary: 4 Stars

I was skeptical as well about paying this much for a straw holder, but it's very neat looking and goes with the chrome theme in my kitchen. I got it to have a nice straw holder, but at the same time something that will last. This may be the winner...
