FAQs

What material is the Tending Box Ishink made from?

The Tending Box Ishink is made entirely from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel.

How does the double-walled design benefit the ice bucket?

The double-walled design provides excellent insulation, keeping ice colder for longer and preventing condensation from forming on the outside of the bucket.

Is the Tending Box Ishink dishwasher safe?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the ice bucket with mild soap and warm water to protect its finish.

What is the significance of the matt black handle and clasp?

The matt black handle and clasp provide a modern aesthetic contrast to the polished stainless steel, highlighting the product's blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.

What are the dimensions of the ice bucket?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed as a functional bar essential for holding ice.

Can I use this ice bucket for purposes other than holding ice?

While designed for ice, its elegant form might lend itself to other decorative uses, but its primary function is as an ice bucket.

Who designed the Tending Box Ishink?

The Tending Box Ishink was designed by Giulio Iacchetti.

Troubleshooting

Ice melts faster than expected.

Ensure the lid/clasp is securely closed after use. For longer ice retention, consider pre-chilling the ice bucket with a few ice cubes before filling it completely.

Exterior of the bucket becomes wet.

The double-walled design should prevent condensation. If moisture appears, ensure the bucket is properly sealed and dry it thoroughly. Persistent issues might indicate a defect, contact customer support.

Handle or clasp feels loose.

Gently check if the attachment points are secure. If the looseness persists or seems like a manufacturing defect, please contact customer support.

Scratches or damage to the polished surface.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, a specialized stainless steel polish may help, but deep scratches are permanent. Handle with care to prevent future damage.
