Cute phone and works fine by mscatinorange on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
When my husband and I bought our home, we decided to get a land line in case our cell phones went out. I wanted a cute retro phone and saw this one at Pottery Barn for a much higher price. We don't really use our land line but it's a cute phone to have ...
 
A new "Oldie but Goodie" by KiltedTailor on radioshack.com Feb 16, 2010
Readers: Here is a phone that is a protest against the 'postage stamp sized' telephone; you know :the ones you put down somewhere and can never find an hour later, while it is ringing!? And this writer is old enow to remember this phone when it was 'only ...
 
Makes me happy by nelle on amazon.com Jun 7, 2012
I love using this phone, I feel like I've stepped back in time every time I pick it up. The ring sounds great. I wouldn't have a long conversation on it (short cord), but sitting on my office desk it's perfect. Good quality, works great.
 
Charming Phone by 1LilBeep on amazon.com Sep 27, 2011
I get more compliments on this phone. I love the style and the old bell style ringing. Dialing is a breeze, the only thing I would be a slight negative is that it is not a phone to hold up to your ear with your shoulder as the curve of the reciever ...
 
Well made, fun phone by John Sewell on amazon.com Jun 17, 2011
We bought this phone for a small, 1930s period-style apartment. It looks great in there. The build quality seems very solid so far. The ring is wonderful. The handset is a pleasure to hold. We have elderly guests staying in the apartment frequently and ...

item not as pictured by Kimberley Collins "DoulaMomma" on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012
I specifically ordered the phone that I did because it mentioned/showed a cloth covered cord...when the item arrived, it was the right body, but the curly plastic cord...if I had wanted that, there was the option to order it that way. I would like the ...
 
what a lie by jg on amazon.com Mar 27, 2012
Cord IS NOT cloth covered AS DESCRIBED and PICTURED. Cord is not removable either, so it cant be replaced. ALSO the cord is stamped with the manufacturers logo and brand. The point of the phone is to look vintage. The integrity is destroyed by the cord. ...
 
Cheesey Disappointment! by J. Wilhelm Roofing on amazon.com Nov 22, 2011
Just received the phone in black. Sending it back immediately! As soon as it came out of the box I could tell the product is cheap and poorly made. Cheap plastic. The receiver feels like a toy in my hand. Not like the Crosley wall unit we bought about ...
 
pretty, and that's it by Kevin Richey on amazon.com Jan 22, 2011
I received this the beginning of May. I love the look of these phones, but it ends there. Two months after I received it, callers would here static and crackling when speaking with me. The handset is awkward to use (this is not my first time having a ...
 
Not a quality product. by Jonathas Valle on amazon.com Mar 10, 2009
I just got my phone today and I'm ready to return it. Reasons: 1. The web description of the phone is false. This phone does NOT come w/ the promised "cloth cord" shown on the picture, it's just the regular spring plastic one...A big detail for who ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Crosley Kettle Classic Desk Phone CR62-Brushed Chrome
The phone looks great with antique furniture, and the sound quality is fantastic...The receiver isn't designed so it can rest on your shoulder -- you have to hold it...Overall, we like the phone but a few minor design changes would make it perfect...

Crosley Radio CR62-BC Kettle Classic Desk Phone (Chrome) - RadioShack.com
And this writer is old enow to remember this phone when it was 'only slightly out of date'! The new one keeps the size of the original phones, and the weight...In fine, if you want a reliable, useful phone, with good sound (going both ways-which you do not always have on some retro phones)then buy this...Attractive Design Comfortable Handset Durable Good Sound Quality Nice Features the phone is in my kitchen everyone loves it as soon as they see it and everyone wants to try it...

Crosley CR62 reviews & tests - BestinTests
But it serves the purpose of a bedroom phone without lights, bells, whistles and radio waves...has good sound quality but doesn't have the feel of the original telephones I grew up with...Old-timey ring, solid construction, I just wish it had ring tone and volume options...
