Iron Monkey Banana Holder ~ Fruit Stand by Upper Deck

This was bought as a birthday gift for someone who loves everything monkey and loves banana hangers..so perfect fit between gift and giftee. It arrived early and was easy to put together. I tried a large bunch of bananas on it to test it out and no danger of it tipping over..very heavy iron and solid as a rock. The monkey sitting on the banana leaf is so cute and rendered nicely and the overall effect is antique. My aunt absolutely raved over this monkey banana holder! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality item because it's well worth the money.

I have purchased a lot of banana holders over the years. This is the first banana holder that actually works well and is built well. The other would tip over or break (plastic and wooden ones). It also looks surprises good, better than the pictures. Clearly a lot of thought went into creating this banana holder. It is worth the extra cost to get one that will last, works really well and looks good (like real art).

Best banana holder…doesn’t topple over! A bit tricky putting together with the small screws so it’s tight, but that’s a one time process. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

I purchased this holder a while back, but just getting around to the review, which I'm honestly giving 5 stars. Shipment arrived quickly and was well packaged. Easy assembly. Finish of product was exactly what was pictured and expected (it has that rustic/raw feel that is so endearing, especially of cast iron). Super heavy base makes a well balanced piece that keeps even the biggest bunches of bananas from tipping over. Adds some adorable, yet subtle, whimsy to my kitchen. I love this little monkey and would recommend this product above most others I've tried. Even my boyfriend who is not into the "kitchy cute stuff" agreed this product is highly functional and was worth the money. This one's a keeper....

Our previous banana holder was worn out and never did hold a bunch of bananas without fear of tipping over. I searched banana holders on Amazon.com and even though this was a little more expensive, I couldn't get it out of my mind. It's so unique and fun. I finally decided to buy it with the idea that if it wasn't worth what I paid for it, in my opinion, I would return it. There is no way I would return it! Others wrote that it makes you smile every time you look at it. They were exactly right. It's sturdy and doesn't look cheap. I also agree with another consumer that said the photo doesn't do it justice. It came on time, packed well and only took me a minute to put it together. It took me longer to find a screw driver! I highly recommend this banana holder to anyone who is looking for one of high quality and an interesting addition to your counter top. I know my family and friends will find it amusing when they visit.

Honestly my husband saw this and wanted to order it – I just went along. However once it arrived, I thought it adorable – a little monkey perched on the edge of a leaf perhaps waiting for a banana to drop? Anyhow, this is a solid, heavy little kitchen helper that will definitely keep your bananas off the counter thereby reducing bruising. I’d order it again.

This little monkey on a leaf banana holder is aesthetically pleasing and HEAVY. It's not moving anywhere once you put it together. So much nicer than the stainless steel ones that look like they're from the 5 & 10 cent store. I recommend putting some felt feet underneath to prevent scratching the surfaces of your countertop. I'd give this as a gift in a minute. Luv this classy little thing.

Storing Bananas within easy reach so when they get super ripe it is obvious and also easy to reach is a challenge which this stand solves. Banana is one fruit that has to be stored well otherwise when it gets too ripe it can become mushy and soft making it difficult to separate from the bunch without making a mess. This stand makes it easy to store the fruit as if it were hanging from a tree which enables plucking and eating as if fresh.Since I placed it in the kitchen it has become a conversation piece also. Kids love the little monkey toy at the base. The leaf patterned base makes it quite stable and easy to store.

Really like the product, great quality!
