Is the lid solid to keep the ice from melting too quickly? I can't tell from the picture.

The lid is scrolled work and has holes throughout. It really is a beautiful work of art that looks much more expensive than it is. Enjoy!

If I remember correctly it's made out of the same material the rest of it was made out of, not super high quality, but solid.. Mine came with the screw holes stripped so I sent back before I could run it through any ice melting... Other than the screw issue, this is VERY much on the short/small side.. So please check out out measurements before you purchase, it's tiny..

Hello the lid is not solid. It has the same scroll pattern as the table as not to save the ice from melting quickly. I sat outside for about an hour in 80 degree temps before my ice melted. Hope this helps.

Oh, no! The glass, especially at the rim, is quite thin and delicate, rather like crystal, and in fact, the glass "rings" when you tap it. I always hand wash it. Freezing is just for sturdy mugs.

It is, but it's easier of you freeze it for 20 seconds. It will prevent it from cracking

It is double-walled. I don't know if there is insulation in-between the walls. I've been looking for an ice bucket for several years (!), and this was the best I've seen - as far as the style I was looking for - for a reasonable price. It holds more ice than you'd think.

solid, or appears so. when i stick my finger at the join for the handle to the glass, i can't get my finger in. Can't be 100% certain unless i break it: not going there, lol.

HI! Unfortunately, it does not keep the ice from melting altogether, however it does slow down the ice melting process. It does keep things cold longer. We used these at Disney and it took several hours for the ice to melt.

It is made of metal and quite strong. Very durable. My only complaint is the the lid is not fully hinged. When opening past 90 degrees the top comes off. It's supposed to do this so you can take the top off. I would rather not have the option. It is very strong. And not flimsy.

The lid opening is small!!! We add in chopped candies etc. when we are spooning the "frozen" ice cream into our containers one layer at a time.

I didn't notice that it was. We had it up high on a display so it looked like it was snowing. We also cut out some of the rings because it went through the solution too fast. After that it was perfect!!!

There is a small 1/3" overflow hole about two inches from the top rim of bucket. It's almost the height of the canister, so melting water will not flow into your ice cream.

Yes, the liner is a hard plastic insert that will not leak and it is antimicrobial so melting ice is no problem unless it tips over.

I live in Texas so we don't have that problem here, but the cover is made of mesh, I don't see how it would prevent ice buildup.

It is larger than it looks and when there is ice in it, it probably held well over 72 can of coke/soda/pop. It must be on a hard surface, like a table and the ice melts quickly because it is not insulated.

Not that I have noticed so far. The only complaint I really have is that the ice pack that fits on the bottom of the lid tends to fall out when you open the lid. Other than that, it has done a great job.

The lid doesn't seal tightly so the cubes would likely clump up into one ice block. I use mine on the counter for coffee.

Couldn't tell you if mine is or not but rubbermaid was sold years ago and to my knowledge their production went over seas. As to this product... I don't use it... the idea was for it to seal and keep air out of the container. The lid doesn't snap and hiss... meaning that you want to push some extra air out by lifting a corner and pushing down the center of the lid... the lid then should be divot-ed down... that doesn't occur.

I would say the gel/freeze material kind of floats throughout the walls and base. The lid does not have gel/freeze material.
