Base is extremely lightweight. Whenever you want to pick this sucker up you have to either hold the base down or wedge it against your vanity w/your foot as you lift up or you're going to get the base every time. Also, don't pick white. I couldn't replace this thing fast enough. Eventually found a base w/sea shells & water & such in it at the hardware store. Sexy. The brush now resides in that. The brush is a brush. Tough on poops. The caddy, well just order one w/a better base.
