is this a very heavy plastic or is it flimsy

It is heavy plastic. I absolutely love this box. I am on my second one - I replace them once a year. The front is low so it is easy for a cat to walk into and the sides are high which prevents litter from flying all over the place. Also, litter boxes with lids are supposed to be mean to do to cats. I cannot recommend this more. There is only one negative - it is very large so make sure you have space to fit it. Hope that helps!

It's medium and it's very durable. I've had one for 3 years and it's in good shape.

It's good and sturdy plus it'd nice and deep so they can't kick the litter out all over the place! I think it's the best one I've seen yet.

The cat pan is remarkably heavy. I use a stainless steel shovel and have no threat of damage to the plastic.

It's pretty heavy. It doesn't bend at all when picked up, even if full of litter and leavings.

The plastic is hard. Way more sturdy than a laundry basket. My 9 yr olds can sit on it. It weighs a little over 10 lb.

Around 5 or 6 pounds - haven't really weighed it. I like mind - travel with it. I don't think it feels flimsy. : - )

It's mostly plastic, so it's not very heavy. Probably no more than five pounds.

It's not heavy whatsoever if you are concerned about that. Mine has stopped working after just a few months. That is a bigger concern.

It's plastic, but it's very durable. I imagine it's due to the weight, as it's already somewhat heavy.

Sorry I can't be too specific, but its a very hard durable plastic. It seems pretty sturdy.

It is plastic. Not cheap or flimsy. Just need to be careful not to scratch and it should last a long long time.

It is pretty heavy, I do not think it is plastic. I checked it before the installation, I saw metal inside (copper or brass).

It's plastic and weighs a pound or less, but it works really well if you're careful how you load it.

It was plastic, very flimsy. I returned the item and got a stainless steel from local hardware store.

Mine is a medium plastic. Not very thin. Lets say it can not stand up by it self, but you can not rip it off easy. Hope that helps.

I have seen others comment about it being flimsy, I don't think it is flimsy at all. The metal bracket is not flimsy, you just can't push down hard or sit on it. I have had mine for a couple of years and I really like it. I like that you can push it under the desk and out of the way, and the fact that it is long enough for my hand held calculator or cell phone to sit right next to my mouse.

I did not weigh it, but I would say it is 2.2 pounds. It is heavier than my lightweight plastic one. This one is nice and sturdy. Lots of control.

It is primarily a heavy-duty plastic but I have used mine extensively for several months and I have found it to be quite sturdy. I put it up and take it down all the time because I only have a small apartment and I don't want it standing in my living room all the time, but it has stood up well to all the use. I see some people have complained about it being flimsy but that has not been my experience. I do make sure that when I hang numerous clothes that they are fairly equally distributed weight wise but that is just common sense not to overload one side.

It is flimsy plastic. The one that I had before was more rigid, but I can't remember the brand name
