The reason I bought this product is because of its stainless steel top. It looks pretty. But it is difficult to remove the popsicles. When i tried to wiggle the popsicles from the tubes, I unintentional wiggled several of the tubes out of the pop maker. I put them back into their slots and since only a few came loose, there are still several tubes attached to the pop maker allowing it to stand up. I am afraid that if more tubes came loose the pop maker will not be able to stand up. It is not worth the money for a pop maker that will come apart.
