I am glad I took a little while to write this review. I ordered this pot thinking it would be heavy (I have two bulldogs that I am always a little worried will knock things over), and while I realize it is made of plastic, I still thought there would be some weight. I was a little disappointed; this pot is really light. So why the 5-star review? Because I am so glad I bought it, it is exactly what I didn't know I wanted! It looks beautiful (does not look at all like cheap plastic; which I was a little worried about) and I didn't have to worry about it breaking! I'm pretty sure I will be buying a few more.
