It's pretty easy to move around, but I suppose it could break your toe if you drop it from table height.

It is heavy since it is granite. You might be able to find volcanic rock but they are very expensive. I love mine. I keep it on the counter. The weight is not a problem unless you have a physical limitations. They have light weight once out of clay but they do not work as well. I never dropped it so can't tell you if you could break a toe.

It's heavy and yes, you would break a toe :). However, the heaviness is an asset. You do not have to hold onto the mortar when you are using it. I put mine on top of a towel and I have both of my hands free which can help if I need to slowly drip in olive oil while using the pestle. Also, it is beautiful. I saw that someone else commented that they leave theirs out on the counter. I do too. I just love the look of it.

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. &#9786;&#128522;&#128512;

Yes. Just make sure you assemble it properly. Assembly can be annoying. I would suggest a socket wrench set. You'll be inverted in no time if you have a socket wrench. I invert every day with it. Seems very solid. I weigh about 172lbs. I would say that if you weighed over 210lbs, you might feel less sturdy on it, but I think it's rated for a lot higher. You can't beat the price either. Make sure assembly is done correctly and you're golden. I don't use the snap on boots with this and it is not required. Shoes or even barefoot works just find. Hope this helps. Good luck on your search.

Sure. It is not very heavy at all, even when you fill the base with water. The rim only sits about a foot or so off the ground. We have it on the pool deck in the 3 1/2 foot end. I'm six feet tall and can dunk flat footed.

It's not all that heavy, but it is a hard plastic. It makes quite a bit of noise when dropped on wood floors. If you have carpet, it might be OK. My dog loves it, but I always have her play outside with it mainly because our floors are wood, and the noise would be bothersome for us. Wish I could help you more.

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

Very heavy, like so heavy you can play heavy metal with it. Haha jkjk. Its like a good 8 ounces. Heavy enough so it doesn't slide around on any type of floor and heavy enough that it doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. A little lighter than my BOSS distortion pedal.

Not heavy at all ... I'm a very petite person & I'm able to move it around & store it with no problem.

10 pounds or there abouts. I can lift it with one finger but I would not want to carry it far that way. :-)

The shipping weight is listed as 18.5 pounds and the item weight in one specification says 17.5 pounds. I don't believe that the packaging only weighs a pound... Anyway, this thing is heavy and somewhat unwieldy, as the whole point is to use the 8+ foot length to reach branches above you (wear goggles!). If you are concerned about the weight you shouldn't be holding it over your head. At best, you are going to hold the shaft handle and base at hip level and get about 5 feet above your head if you are not STRONG. And you won't want to use if for extended periods either.

It is heavy....not at all light weight......probably that or a bit more...with the attachments on.

The weight is actually 0.6kg, but it can bear less than that before the plastic on the legs break. Avoid.

my 6-year old son dropped it on our tile floor. nothing broken...however he's only 3 feet from the ground and he didn't throw it, just dropped it. So I'm sure that if thrown hard enough on the right, surface, right angle it could break, but when he has dropped it, it's been fine.

It likely weighs what the spec indicates, that's pretty light. I do not think I would want to climb on anything that weighs any less as it would be structurally weak. I like it very much and it is light weight easy to move around and sturdy.

Don't know exactly bit not heavy. You should be able to find it in shipping.

I know it isn't very heavy, 10 to 15 lbs but very sturdy weather you use it alone or on the toilet. I had a hip replacement done recently and this is the one I used.

About one pound. It s heavier than I thought but it s metal. I know it left a bruise when it fell on my foot.
