Rated 4 out of 5 by Sheryn from Not quite realistic looking - but close. If the actual item looked exactly like the picture I would like it more. The item received was not quite realistic looking and the one in the picture is more flat looking which is preferable. Price is high for the actual item received.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KattyKat from Very versatile piece Bought this to serve cold drinks but may use it as a planter. I love the look but the inside is a bit shiner than I would have liked. All in all, I am happy with this purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Hunting4bargains from I love it - it can be used many ways. I love it. There are many uses - like a beverage cooler - a pot pourie container - a large salad server, etc. Good value for the money.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Berie from Will Work Well I wanted to use this shell as a planter for very small succulents in my tropical back yard. I had bought a different shell last year that worked very well. This one, however, is not quite as realistic with its shiney interior and will have to be treated in order to use it out doors. It is okay, but I liked the one that I found last year better.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great size. Does not look real. Great size but too fake looking, the pearl coating on the inside is a dead giveaway. If you are going to fill it up with plants or something else it would be great!

Rated 3 out of 5 by FristratedAGAIN from Could be better I found the inside of shell to look very fake- very bright & shiny. Unless your going to fill it completely I Would not choose this one!

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1vintagetutu from Serves the purpose, but found it looked very faux and especially on the inside which simply looked like a shiny paint looking nothing near what a real shell would look. Purchased for our large eat in kitchen table for a Spring/Summer centerpiece with the intention of heaping it up with lemons or green apples. I did a lot of research on different similar shells and settled on this which was more pricey than the one I hemmed and hawed over. I wish I would have tried the other as this was too expensive for what I see. I recommend to others only because so many others seem ok with it and maybe I'm just a bit too picky and was more disappointed with the inside vs. the outside of the shell. For those that would want to do plantings would probably sufice. Personally, I would not like to do a planting in a shell such as this.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Casting11147 from Not up to my expectations Thought the shell I had observed in the past, in a few catalogs, were generally all alike...not so. I visualized the multiple curved section would be more upright, more or less as a background for the succulents I planned to plant. Yours lays flat and with plants, the background would lose its visibility. Another catalog had one that looked t like the one I admired some time ago. It was considerably less in cost also. It had the upright look but looked "cheaper".. I contacted your customer service. Naturally I discounted the choice to return it! Was discounted Twenty five dollars

Rated 3 out of 5 by RopeaDoped from Not as Realistic-Looking as You'd Expect It serves its purpose - acting as a centerpiece on our dining room table. But it's the second major disappointment we've ordered from Ballard Designs. It's too expensive for what you get. The BD catalogues go straight in the recycling bin now.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Galleriagirl11 from Returning I really wanted to love this shell. It looks gorgeous in the Ballard photos but in person it just didn't look as good. It just looked like a big fake cheap plastic shell to me. The inside was way to shiny! I tried moving it around to different areas & it just didn't work. I buy lots from Ballard & this is the first item I've ever returned.

Rated 2 out of 5 by beachlvr from Did not look as pictured I bought this for my redecorating project in my living room. Going to a coastal theme I thought this would be perfect to use for plants, sea glass, shells or orbs. In all the online and catalog pictures it is shown sitting straight, mine does NOT sit straight, and I would have to add a lot to the bottom of one side to make it sit straight. I was very disappointed in this item, I will probably just use it outside in the flower beds near the pool now. Much too expensive for an outdoor accent!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Beachgirl55 from Disappointment Major disappointment! The interior of this shell has an opalescent "paint" coating that is so poorly applied that bubbles and bumps can be seen under the sheen. It looks cheap and extremely fake. The outside of the shell is fairly credible, but cannot be appreciated if you use the shell inside-up, to hold anything. I ended up filling it with other shells and bits of ocean treasures in order to cover the horrible pearlized paint. I had intended using this outdoors, but it is clearly not sturdy enough for that use. Not a good purchase. I feel I was misled.
