It's very lightweight to a fault although it has rubber under it, it can still tip off if you're clumsy. It doesn't spin so smoothly, so if you're trying to achieve some fast spinning techniques on your cakes, buy a much better one. I'd say this will do for beginners, but for professionals and someone who is investing on good baking materials, it's not good enough, it's not bad, I still use this one, but will I but it again? No. You get the value of your money on this one.
