I was thrilled to find a metal saucer and thrilled again to find one made in the USA. BUT this saucer is as thin as a baking pan. After THREE runs the saucer started to dent, and by the end of the day it was unusable despite being punched back into some semblance of smooth time after time. The red paint was quickly scratched off even on the inside (by the snow boots).I bought this for my daughter and my friend bought one for her daughter, with the same poor results.I still ride my father's 85-yr-old Flexible Flyer sled: they don't make things like they used to!
