Rubbermaid Commercial Lobby Corn Broom, Wood Handle, Brown (FG637300BRN), 3 Pack

I guess I am the only person in the world that didn't know what a "Lobby Broom" is. I have worked in Hotels and Restaurants for decades and most had a Lobby. Whenever I swept ANY Lobby, I used a full size broom. Yes, it is very well made and it's pretty cool that they were able to scale down a miniature broom to look just like a full size broom, the only problem is that if you don't TELL SOMEONE IN THE TITLE THAT THIS IS A SCALED DOWN VERSION they are going to think it is what it appears to be. It's ok though, I've learned my lesson and will take my time before spending money on Amazon again.

EDIT 12/29/15: There are many reviewers giving this broom one star for being too short and not because of any problem with the broom itself. The description states it's a lobby broom, meaning it's meant to be used with the lobby dustpan Rubbermaid sells. You can also see that exact product hanging on the wall next to the broom in the picture I've posted, which should give you a reference on the size of the handle. This was never meant to be used as a regular broom because the handle is designed to make it easier to sweep debris into a long-handled dustpan. To anyone planning on using it as a regular broom, this is not for you. If you're planning on using it with a dustpan like the one in the picture or one that's similar, this broom will work fine for you. I've had this broom exactly five months as of this writing, and it still works just as well as the day I got it.To anyone who might be reading these reviews and thinking of looking into a different product because of all the one-stars as of late, just know that there are many people who didn't know what this product was or didn't do enough research before they bought it. My review--with a picture--has been up for five months, and that's enough visual evidence to show this is not a full-size broom. Sadly, it looks like nobody bothered to click it, and the one-stars have kept rolling in because of the product being "inaccurately-described" or "not what I ordered."In closing, this is better than the Carlisle lobby broom (we use Carlisle brooms at work, and they like to fall apart), and I think it might even be better than the one Libman gives you with the set you can buy in the stores (surprisingly, the bristles on the Libman start falling out after a couple months). If you know what you're buying, I think you'll be satisfied.-------------If you have the Rubbermaid Lobby Pro Dustpan, this is the absolute best accessory you can buy. The broom head is soft and works well with the linoleum and cement flooring where I use it, and the size ensures that everything you sweep up goes into the dustpan on the first try. This is a major step up from the larger broom I was using, where I'd have to make at least two or three passes before everything went into the dustpan.I can't take any stars away from the product for this, but it's important to note that the way Amazon shipped this was one of the worst packing methods I've ever seen in all my years of online shopping. The broom showed up on my doorstep packed in a clear, cellophane sleeve with a shipping label attached. The sleeve was ripped in multiple places, but fortunately, no damage occurred to the broom that I could immediately spot. Knowing how things travel through shipping facilities, it's a miracle something didn't bump into the broom as it traveled down the conveyor and bend the handle or take half the bristles out of the broom head. Amazon usually packs well, but they bungled this one.

Not at all what I thought a commercial broom was supposed to be. I didn't know it was a child size broom. I bought it as a gift and when I returned it I only received a couple of dollars back. I paid nearly $13 and my refund was less than $3. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't allow this review.Now they are selling for less than when I purchased mine. Possibly because people are catching onto the facr that they are tiny.

Update the description and/or photos. Perhaps some people know what a "lobby broom" is but clearly not everyone does, including me. The length of the broom is buried way down the listing, and it never occurred to me to check for it given that a broom with this description is a pretty standard length.This is a well built broom but it's tiny. Meant to be used at arm's length with a special dust pan. This is not a standard broom.

I bought this as a replacement for the Toysmith Corn Broom - http://www.amazon.com/Toysmith-2290-Corn-Broom-29/dp/B000Q382KG/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=krissfacepage-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=XW3M4IEXXRMIPSIW&creativeASIN=B000Q382KGmeant as a Christmas present for my 18-month old. I'm posting this review, since many suggest purchasing a maid/lobby broom as a kid's toy.The Toysmith broom was very cheap, and has flimsy plastic bristles. This broom is a "real" broom. I don't think this Rubbermaid broom quite suited my 18-month old, as it's a bit tall for him. BUT, it is perfect for my 5 year old. I'd say this broom would work as a toy/kid broom for kids ages 3 and up. I will keep it in the kitchen, and also use it myself as a "real" broom when I have a small mess to clean up.The total length of this broom is somewhere around 36 inches (I didn't measure). The toysmith broom is 29 inches; the handle ends right at the top of our dining table. I've attached a picture for size reference.

So this was advertised as a “commercial broom” and there was nothing in the title nor the description to indicate this was a tiny broom! So. I will also read all reviews more before purchasing again. With the words “commercial” and “Rubbermaid” in the title, consumers assume certain things. Please consider re-writing the product title and description.

This little broom is perfect for my upcoming nuptials. Cons: Some of the straw came out and the color on the tip has a hint of green. Pros: perfect size to jump the broom and can easily be decorated to match your wedding decor. I consider adding a little white paint to the tips but it wasn’t necessary.

I love this narrow short broom. It is exactly right for getting between all my outdoor flower pots on the patio. No more dragging heavy containers out of the way to clear dropped leaves and other debris. It is sturdy in the way of all old fashioned brooms...stiff bristles tightly woven. Could be a great child’s toy too. A small inexpensive thing that deals efficiently with an everyday task

Good Quality

great value

Please read the description carefully; 1 1/2-inch head width and has a 38-inch handle.It is really small! it's very nice for my kids to play with, but it's not possible for an adult to use it.Quality looks OK, but I don't care much about that if I can't use it.

Very disappointing.....very short and small head on this broom....meant for a child.

I bought this broom assuming the product details were correct , however the handle length is 28" not the stated 38" ,The overall broom length is 38. Very disappointing and not worth the money.On top of all this the broom handle is cracked!!
