This product has been a real lifesaver for me.  Trying to juggle a heavy pan and a colander while cooking was very frustating.  Often, you can't set the colander down in the sink because you have other things in the sink.  With this colander, it is SO easy to drain pasta, ground meat, vegetables, etc. as it rests on the edges of the sink.  It is also wonderful for washing fruits and vegetables.  It actually is a fine mesh sieve, so I also use it to rinse ground beef after browning--to remove all the extra fat.
It is very sturdy and holds a LOT.  I use mine daily and it has stood up to lots of use.  The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the little rubber feet kept coming off.  It wasn't a big deal, but they should've been secured better.  This product is a must-have for anyone who cooks.
