Thanks a lot, Hartz - this product is awful! I took it out of the box, unwrapped it (it was shrink wrapped in plastic), and the legs promptly broke off one side. The bowls are quite small - even though I knew the dimensions of the bowls before ordering, I was surprised how tiny they looked in person. They'd still work, but large cats may not be able to get at the bits left in the bottom of the bowl. In any case, it's irrelevant, since I threw away the metal frame and am using the bowls as craft bowls or around-the-house-work-bowls. The entire product is horribly made. I've had my current steel bowl dishes in a metal frame for 9 years and they're still going strong - it's unfortunate that I can't find another set for the downstairs area. My cats will continue to eat from ceramic dishes!
