Absolutely love it!
Had the Mr Fothergill's on my wishlist for a few weeks and finally pulled the trigger. Arrived in 2 days which was a nice surprise. Build quality is solid and exactly what the photos showed. My partner uses it every day now and has already asked me to grab another one as a gift.
