I got this for my sister for her birthday. She was THRILLED with it. It's polished stainless steel but there is a 'dimpled' pattern on it so that it won't be difficult to deal with water spots after it's dried. Good, solid base. Just the right height to have at your dinner table for easy access to it. The price was right, too. I'll be back to shop All+Modern, that's for sure!  

Pros: Easy clean up. Steady base. Conversation starter. 
Cons: Can't picture any negatives about this. Common sense would be to make sure it isn't in anyone's path to the table to enable it being bumped. But THAT is not the products doing/fault. ;o)
