Know before you buy
Yes, the needlepoint is crafted with high-quality French cotton thread and set into a solid wood handle, making it durable for regular use. While it is a decorative piece, it is built to withstand the wear and tear of opening bottles daily.
The integrated magnet is strong enough to securely hold the bottle opener to most standard refrigerator doors or metal surfaces. It is designed for convenient storage and quick access rather than holding up heavy papers or notes.
The opener measures 4.25 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick. Its compact size makes it comfortable to hold and easy to store in a kitchen drawer or bar cart.
Yes, the standard handheld design is compatible with any beverage bottle that uses a traditional pry-off crown cap, including most beer and soda bottles.
The solid wood handle is finished to be durable, but it is best to keep it dry and avoid submerging it in water. If it gets dirty, simply wipe it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
