It was a great deal, but the lids with the straws definitely leak. I purchased this bottle and 2 of the spout lids to replace actives lids and all leak. So just be careful if they are tipped over.
The color of the “pebble” bottle is a lot lighter than it is on the website. A lot closer to white than a medium gray that I was expecting. Other than that, great price and sturdy feel.
I was on the fence about getting a Takeya for months (really a ridiculous amount of time for a water bottle). I tried a couple stainless steel bottles with straws that were okay, but all of them either leaked or the straw part didn't work very well. Enter Takeya. I am OBSESSED with it. The straw is the best I've ever used, it never leaks even when it falls over in my car, and the handle is SO convenient. I wish I would have bought it sooner! I ordered the white 32 ounce. I was a little hesitant about the white, but it looks great, wipes easily, and I only have one tiny blemish in the white coating after a month of use. I decided to also buy the navy bumper and ring to go with it. It looks awesome. If I had to buy one again, I would pay double just to have this one!
