I absolutely love this serving bowl! It is super easy to carry because of the handles. I can trust my kids to serve it to the table without being afraid that they will drop it. The handles seem to be sturdy as they are not glued onto the bowl. They are screwed into it. Size is perfect for a large salad, side dish or a snack for a party of 6-10 people. The only down side to me, as it is not dishwasher safe (per instructions). However, it is freezer safe. It is definitely a very stylish addition to my dining table!
