I ordered this for my boyfriend as a thank-you for taking care of me after a 3-month-long back injury. He absolutely loved it! He never fails to bring up how awesome the crowbar is, and the smoker works really well in any size grill. The original dry rub is amazing, and it arrived so quickly! The shipping prices are low for how heavy it is - it really feels like you're getting a quality product. I will absolutely be ordering from here again, especially once the poker sets are available! I work in eCommerce Marketing for a large retail company, and I'm incredibly impressed with how everything was handled.

I wanted to pick out something special for my brother in law's 50th and this was definitely it. The crate arrived within 6 working days all the way to TORONTO (excellent!) and the report back was.."Everything was awesome, it was a bit of trouble opening up the crate with the crowbar (but i think this is kind of the point, right?) but all in all a very fun package..."
Thanks mancrates! I've been spreading the word about you!!! Excellent customer service too!!

This was a great birthday gift from my Dad. Very cool concept with the crate/crow bar! Great quality products! Awesome tasting seasonings!

Ordered this for my stepdad for Christmas. He loved everything in the inside of the crate but the opening was a bit of a let down. When we took it out of the box, the bottom part was already coming off. Would definitely order more ManCrates in the future, I just wish it hadn’t been so easy to open.

The crate arrived after a tough day at work for my husband so opening it was not only fun but a stress reliever! The sizes of the seasoning jars are substantial. We will try them and the smoker this weekend. I do think I will order from you folks again!

I really liked the concept of the "Man Crate" and ordered this for my Dad's birthday. It arrived exactly when expected, he had a good time trying to open it (needed to use extra tools in order to pry it open), and the items included with this crate looked like they were of good quality. Overall, I think its a good creative gift.

Only two complaints/suggestions:
- I wish there would have been an option to substitute the corn/beer nuts for something else. Perhaps I could have called to request this, I'm not sure.
- I don't necessarily think this crate was worth the price (not to mention the additional $11-12 for shipping).

My husband got a kick out of his man crate filled with grilling supplies and a hickory smoker. It was fun to see him pull out all the goodies. The crate - which looked so cool - was difficult to open. I do not see the need for glue on topwhen a couple of tacks would do. It took awhile to finally pry open the box making the gift giving a little anti-climatic.

The hickory crate is a but pricey but definitely worth it. My boyfriend loved it! He wasn't super excited about having to "work" for his gift but when he saw the contents he turned into a little boy at Christmas. Definitely one of the coolest gifts he's received.

I bought this for my boyfriend as his Valentine's Day gift. I was excited to see him struggle to open it. Though he did for a few seconds while trying to open it right side up, he then flipped it over and almost didn't struggle at all while opening it up side down. I wonder if they are not put together as strong on the bottom side? He did love it though, a cool unique fun gift :)

I bought four man crates for the men In our family. This one was nice but it was nailed shut and popped right open. Had of open on the second try. Part of the fun is watching the men have to work to get it over. I little disappointing

Bought these for my project mangers as Christmas gifts. They were totally stoked at the concept of opening a gift like a man should. Fairly expensive considering what's inside, but what a concept.

While I think you're a bit pricey for what you get, I can't beat the uniqueness of this fantastic gift. I suppose I'm paying more for the 'cool' factor. I've now purchased 2 crates & one bacon jerky box thing, all three equally cool which in turn, makes me cool for giving the gift.

If you only had more of a selection & a bigger price range, I'd buy these gifts every time I needed to purchase a stupid gift for a finicky man.

The perfect gift for my chef father, he loved the fact that he needed a crobar to open his gift and got cooking right away!

My husband loved the crate! Wondering if it would be possible to have some options for some of the smaller items?

While the gift itself was a huge hit, the opening of the crate was anticlimactic. I wrapped the box it shipped in and when my father in law opened that up and got the crate out, the bottom of the crate was un-nailed - so he didn’t have to use the crow bar or work very hard to get it open!

I bought the ManCrate for my husband for Valentine's Day and although he's not the typical manly man he did serve so I assumed he would like it. Not the reaction that I would have liked to receive but he pretended to like it (he is very frugal so $64 for the contents I think were what did it wrong for him). He kept it on the counter until now (May) and within five minutes of placing it on the heat it cracked which is really disappointing because the smoker's the central idea for this crate. I really like the idea...there are tons of mancrates on here for a bigger price that offer more bang for the buck. I guess it was my fault.
