Wonderful, unique gift that will be fun to personalize over time and use for years afterward!
from Seattle, WA on 7/10/2008
I made mine using a stronger, fast drying glue. I needed to use an "exact-o knife" to cut the corks, as the sand paper was useless.

Don't use white glue that comes with the kit use hot glue gun. Fast and easy
from Atlanta, GA on 7/8/2008
This is the perfect product for all those wine corks you have been saving. The frame is of really nice wood and looks great. The project took a little more time than I expected but that was fine, it was a lot of fun. The only drawback, which had been mentioned by other raters, was there was not enough glue included in the package.

Used as a housewarming gift to friends who have a wine cellar

This board is an excellent choice. Grab your cork(s) and design away. The outcome was great, because the foundation was great! Would buy again.

These trivets are great for protecting the table as well as being an interesting center peice. People frequently comment on the wines that the corks came from. Additionally, they make great gifts for friends who are wine lovers.

Fun collecting corks and then arranging them in the holder
from California on 3/2/2008
Since he is the real wine afficianado, this will be great in his office. And it freed up a whole drawer in the kitchen where he's kept them for years!
from sewickley, PA on 2/6/2008
the kids fought over the placement of the corks-next time we'll get 2 boards!
from Duluth MN on 2/6/2008
Very well constructed.
from Prescott, AZ on 1/22/2008
Put appointment cards on it
Fun to assemble and give as a gift
I appreciate reading other customers reviews before purchasing things, especially online. I am very pleased with this product. The other comments about needing more wood glue is true and I thought the instructions were helpful when they suggested laying the corks out in a perimeter. I think the end result is wonderful, I've gotten two; one for our dining room & one for my father-in-law as a gift.
from Orlando, FL on 1/7/2008
This was a gift for my mom and she LOVED it. Right up her alley. Great gift.
from Texas on 1/6/2008
I made one for myself and a second for our neighbors. I think they are very neat as decor as well as functional trivet or bulitin board. A bit tricky to get all the corks to fit snug and "square". I wish it were just 1/4" smaller on two of the sides.
from northern CA on 1/4/2008
Finally an easy kit to put to use bags and bags of corks!
from Atlanta, GA on 1/3/2008
You will need to supply the wine corks, but that is part of the fun of it. You will also need more glue than the supply provided.
from Fox Valley area, WI on 1/3/2008
The board seems to be nice, but when a person opened the box (it was a gift), the glue was dried out because of poor fitting cap.
from Athens, Ohio on 1/3/2008
Great Sturdy Board! Looks Nice! But not even close to enough glue to make the board. I used wood glue to finish it and that worked great.
from Knoxville, TN on 1/2/2008
It's a great way to use and display all those corks I've collected over the years. Many bring back good memories. It can be used as a bulletin board and as an extra large trivet. On the down side, the amount of glue provided is less half of what is needed.
from Lebanon, Ohio on 11/21/2007
I would add a larger supply of glue and more detailed instructions as to how to obtain different patterns.
from Pittsford NY on 11/21/2007
I love the "natural look of cork" this is my second purchase.
