it looks very cool! but is it a sturdy plastic or flimsy one?

Pliable plastic. Luckily the plastic is pretty thick, so it'll take some time for it to warp. But it can be slightly flimsy if you apply pressure onto the tip. But with some modifications you can make it so it won't bend as much.

It's very poorly made. My son is gentle with his toys and it broke the second time he shot it. It's a good product to look at but not play with.

It seems to be plastic to me, but is far sturdier than others that I have owned. Have only had for two months so not sure of the wear factor, but have two of them now and they seem very sturdy

The top is a sturdy plastic and the actual vessel is a very thick glass. It appears to be a strong vessel and not flimsy in any way.

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.

it is plastic, but responds easily and doesn't require pressure to move. I haven't had any problems or worry that it might be too fragile.

I would say it is strong rather than flimsy. My granddaughter has had problem with hers and loves it.

It is flimsy plastic. The one that I had before was more rigid, but I can't remember the brand name

It IS plastic...But it isn't sturdy or strong. Sheet plastic, sure. Hard plastic? no

No, it's very sturdy. Plastic yes, but not cheaply made. It can stand up to a lot.

I would definitely say it is not flimsy! I bought the green stock vs and it is very sturdy! Definitely worth the money and I'm very satisfied with the quality!

It seems to me like it's some kind of plastic composite. It's very sturdy and I almost didn't think it was plastic.

It's not thin plastic. It does have some weight to it and it's balanced well. I've not sent mine flying yet. Hope this helps.

It is very sturdy clear plastic. It has a rim to fit to the edge of the plate, and a hole in the top to let steam out so food does not get soggy. I love mine. I drop it in the dishwasher and it cleans well. I will neve buy one of those flimsy plastic ones again. This one beats them all.

Hey Kirk,I just checked my son's and it's pretty much the same, i'm sure it's okay, i think it's flimsy do to the fact of the material its made from, when you snap the 2 together it will be more sturdy, when i first got this for my 4 yr old i thought the same thing you did but over all , it's fine and I'm sure if you got another one it would be the same. Hope this helps!!!

I have been worried that mine would break because of how flimsy it is but it had not YET! I honestly don't know how much faith I have in it though!

It appears to be a heavy gage plastic. It is very sturdy & does not bend. Not flimsy at all.

It is VERY heavy and VERY clear and not a cloudy cheap plastic and the sparkle knobs are a nice touch (despite one being broken off which I used rubber cement to fix without a problem). Mine is stuffed to the brim and the shelves are not bowing down. It is definitely pricey but for me exactly what I needed, very sturdy and I'll use it for a lifetime. Personally I'm happy with it...It isn't just a cheap plastic that will easily break and it holds everything I need it to hold. I'm generally fairly unorganized and with this thing it is a piece of cake to keep everything in the right place and to see it all. I'd buy it again.
