Beware, quality depends on seller!
There are two sellers for this item. eCEO LLC and Five Box. Due to shipping times, supply in stock and my needs, I ordered one from each seller. The item on the left is from Five Box, while the one on the right is from eCEO. The one on the left is much more study, has a much better shape for bottles, and in my opinion is of much better quality. Definitely worth the extra $1. I will be returning the one on the right and have purchased a second from FiveBox. I have no affiliation with either seller.

Seems sturdy and durable.
The media could not be loaded. Very snug fit. Fits my swell bottle and a 20oz Gatorade bottle. Seems very sturdy very easy to install and case with the screws. I previously ordered another brand and material from another provider and it came without screws. So this was great and easy to install.

Like a Glove - UPDATED: 5 Stars to 2
UPDATE:Already broken. This thing snapped after using it less than a year, just from normal riding (road bike, so not even on bumpy trails). I'd give it 1 star, but honestly I paid so little for it I'm not sure what I expected. Buyer beware; you get what you pay for.ORIGINAL:Here's all you really need to know:- Super easy to install; I put it on my Trek in minutes, the screw holes aligned with no problem.- Comes with two screws; they take an Allen wrench --which *isn't* included-- but the size is found standard in any bicycle repair kit- Fits mid-sized water bottles. A standard, plastic Deer Park 16.9oz will not fit. Nor will any 40oz Yeti or Coleman. However, any sized bottle in between those extremes probably will. The bottle in my pic is a 24oz Contigo Autospout (which I also found on Amazon), and it slides in and out perfectly.Bottom line: Buy this. You'll be glad you did.

No thought of your installing.
Here is the instruction..."Note - bike frame requires threaded holes for installation of cages.". I was under impression this had a different meaning. If you look at the pictures you will see the "screws" mounted/installed in two different directions (Pictures #1-3 vs #4). So unless you already had pre-drilled metric threaded holes then you have to drill new threaded holes for the provided screws. And why would need, if you already had those pre-drilled holes then you probably already have a holder. For me the cage is OK and I will just use self drilling threaded screws for installation. To much trouble to send back for $8.

Still looking for the right size bottle
This is a nice, sturdy cage but I have a couple of issues indirectly related to the product.First, I have tried a number of water bottles but so far none fit quite right. The largest is a pretty good diameter fit, but tends to flop over when I stop or hit a big bump. I put some rubber bands around it to get more friction and that helped, but I will keep looking.Second, I've been home when the last couple of Amazon-marked vans have delivered, so was fortunate to notice them and retrieve my packages. They don't knock or ring the doorbell! Would that be too much trouble? UPS doesn't wait for me to come to the door either, and that's fine, but they do ring the bell.

Nice water thermos holder
Nicely well made. Holds my 17 ounce stainless steel insulated water bottle. Did not know where I wanted to mount it so I just double adhesive mounting tape and two zip ties. Some bikes already have manufactured 2 holes for mounting these. But, mine does not.
P**.
Absolutely worth it.
This rack was super easy to install! As long as you have a hex wrench, it literally takes barely a minute. I took it for a ride tonight and it kept my water bottle very secure. For the price, you can't beat it! It probably wouldn't fit a wide bottle, but my tall one fit great.

Something changed for the worse...
I previously ordered a single bottle cage. I was happy with it. It looked just like the product images and it was very sturdy. I ordered 3 more and they're entirely different. They much thinner and bend much easier.The original, pictured in the product details has welded aluminum while the one I received is some sort of cheap pinched/stamped together parts which are individually much thinner and weaker.I noticed another review advising the product varies with the seller. How does that make any sense? I clicked order again and got a different product and one that isn't pictured when making the purchase. That has to be some sort of violation.
