It has already been dented in several places and no longer sits flat and has been scratched so much that the painted coating is coming off in multiple places. I've only had it one month!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The leather handle is slippery and not strong enough to twist & open the lid. I wish I bought a hydro flask with straw lid.

I held off buying my first Hydro Flask for a long time. I have other water bottles and didn't want to waste money. BUT this was certainly not a waste. This has become the one and ONLY water bottle I use and I couldn't be happier. I love that it's dishwasher safe and keeps drinks cold forever. Absolutely worth the purchase.
