Even though the glass is thin, is this pitcher sturdy or does it break easily?

I think it's pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with chipping or breaking.

I don't use this pitcher, it's not only too thin, but it easily slips out of your hand and will break. Also the top is not adequate.

It is very sturdy!! I have had a couple of them for over 15 years! The best pitcher I have ever had!

Ours doesn't get a lot of use, but I don't see where it would break under normal use. It feels sturdy.

Yes, the pitcher is made of glass. The plastic ice container unscrews at the top from the lid. The plastic top can be used with or without the center container. The pitcher is surprisingly very wide and deep at the bottom. I use it in the summer to make sangria. It is an amazing product. Buy one if you still can. You will not be disappointed.

No. My pitcher was room temp and I poured boiling water in it for tea and the whole bottom cracked. Another one bites the dust.

I have brewed many, probably hundreds of quarts of tea in my ice tea maker and never had it shatter from the changing temperature. It is not glass, but some form of safe plastic.

it's pretty sturdy. i mean, if u slam ur phone down on something or get unlucky and drop it on the glass then it might brake but i've had mine slip outta my grasp a few times and it has held up.

I don't know how to properly answer your question... The pitcher is tall and skinny which can make it bottom heavy. Not sure if this helps.

It seems pretty strong, but it is glass and I could see it breaking if a heavy enough object fell into it hard.

I feel like you could break it, particularly at the bend of the base. But I don't feel like if it fell off a table it would shatter or anything. It feels more like hard plastic than glass in my opinion.

The glass is sturdy. Be certain to pack it up with good padding as you would with any fragile, glass item. Also, be sure to dismantle base from screen. It would certainly break away if you omit this step.

To be honest with you I don't know. The pitcher is pretty thick plastic & sturdy. Maybe try it with a little water. But, that's up to you. Good luck!

The lid of this pitcher is attached with a very small, and in my opinion, inadequate joint. It broke (quite predictably) when I was washing the pitcher. I did not buy another one. So I would suggest stirring the contents with a large spoon. Shaking will possibly break the lid and the product is anyway by no means leak proof if you do! It's a shame that the joint is so fragile, or it would be a very good pitcher.

The glass is tough. I have had it on rig for about 6months And it has seen some abuse. Still in great shape.

As long as you don't tip the pitcher or fill it to the brim, this is not a problem!

The pitcher is glass and the lid and ice insert are plastic. I don't know what type of glass it is. It's thick and sturdy, hope that helps.

Hi. I can tell you that I love this pitcher. I use it to create real lemon water. I peel lemons and put them in the tube and let it sit in ice water overnight. The lemons work for about a week before they need replacement. I haven't had any issues with cracking or breaking. I've had it a few months now and like it.

The plastic bottom and lid are somewhat thin. It fits so snugly together with the frozen insert (which holds the dressing and toppings) and the snap on lid, that makes it sturdy. I'm not sure how it would fare if it were dropped, but I've found it to hold together well without leaking if I store it sideways or roll it around some.

I believe the weight would be too much when the pitcher is filled. The filter lid is weighty so for me it would be difficult to manage with the heavier glass. We are very pleased with our pitcher and would definitely purchase it again.
