Hello, How sturdily is this made? Does the material seem of good quality, and not brittle or too lightweight? Thanks for your input!

It is very sturdiy and of good quality. I use it for lunch like everyday. The handle in the picture is actually different then the one I received and its better lookign. It is good for soups and oatmeal for the microwave. The four clips are also pretty awesome.

I own the microwave noodle bowl and also the 20 oz mug. Both are very sturdy. You could throw them in a lunchbox or backpack without worries. I have been impressed with Sistema products and am acquiring quite a collection.

They are pretty study, but lightweight. Just remember that they are not meant to be liquid tight. BTW, the vent cap is removable so you can clean inside the vent.

Hi, I bought this couple of months ago and I liked it... coming to the question of metal, it is not solid. it is hallow but good enough to hold the weight. Not like that would bend or get dented... hope this clarifies

I couldn't really say to be honest but it is not flimsy at all. It's made very well and I am happy with it.

Pretty good. We use it daily and it still looks good. The material is very sturdy.

This is a sturdy piece. However, I have used it usuall to prop up my feet, and, to have a place to keep my needlework, etc., when I 'm not working on things. I have had more than one occasion to sit on it, and, I'm no light-weight either....trust me. It seems to have the inner strength to tolerate all the uses to which I have put it. Good luck!

Put it this way, it is HEAVY, not flimsy material. It looks great in our spare bedroom, along with the headboard. I have the same colour of panelling on the bottom of our walls and a light/medium blue above. Friends just LOVE that room.

Hi Lori, I was pleasantly surprised and yes it is very sturdy. It was much nicer then i expected for the money.

Susie, it is sturdy and doesn't look like it will break easily. And yes, it is forgiving. Also, its the kind of plastic that won't break if you drop it.

It's not rigid like wood or stiff plastic. It's thick material and is soft, more comfortable for your pet. That's not to say that it's flimsy by any means though. My dog is comfortable and secure in it.

It's actually pretty good. I've dropped it once or twice, and it's just fine. I wouldn't suggest dropping it from a 2-story building or anything like that, but it seems to be ok with just normal everyday human clumsiness.

I haven't had a problem with it at all. I use it allot. It looks pretty sturdy to me.

It is pretty strong,has held up with high winds, I do think grommets might be better with some extra material . The mesh might not hold up w/o. I hope this helped.

It doesn't feel like it's brittle, so I don't think it'd crack or shatter. I'd be careful anyway, maybe even buy a spare one. That's also a GENIUS idea, good luck!

Haven't had any problem with the material ripping....durable....BUT, it's VERY VERY VERY heavy....that's my biggest complaint....

I don't consider it lightweight. Built solidly. I know this is a subjective answer but it isn't flimsy, if that's your concern.

I certainly hope this lasts a long time! I just bought it this year but it has held up very well. Mechanisms are good and tight and material is quality. Spines seem to be well done and hold material well. I've had it open in windy weather and it doesn't bounce around a lot. I'm putting it away now for the winter - I'll wrap it up and hopefully it will look as good next summer!
