Purchased this reel this past spring, but waited to use it for a season before writing a review. I originally ordered the garden hose from Frontgate also, but found it to narrow for my watering needs. I wound up putting a 125' 5/8" (dark brown) rubber hose on it. It looks spectacular! This product exceeded my expectations. Assembly was simple. At first, I took issue with the silver screw supplied to attach the handle. The reel itself is quit dark, blackish/bronze with gold highlights. I thought "what? this silver screw will stick out like a sore thumb!" But, after a day or two, its wasn't noticeable. Reeling out/in is an absolute pleasure. Extremely smooth. A dream to use. The reel sits on my front walkway, which faces south, so FULL sun ALL DAY. After a summer of sun and rain, the finish on this reel looks untouched. A "fresh out of the box" look. My only regret? I should have bought a second one for the yard.
Pros: Appearance, Quality, Durability, easy of use
Cons: none!

can the hose rely be moved easily? i like to move my hose into the garage in the winter and take it out only when i need it.
Living on Long Island, NY, I also move my hose into the garage for the winter. I placed this hose on a dolly, which made it SIMPLE to move (it fit perfectly).

Who is the manafacture
Its exclusive to Frontgate, they're the manufacturers. Don't know if it was made in the USA (that would be nice, but highly improbable).
