The steel is very cheap and thin and these will not hold a great deal of weight, however if all you are looking for is something to strain the water out of pasta, or vegetables (lightweight - think salad, maybe broccoli) then they will do the trick. Very compact drain holes, which will make cleaning difficult if you don't use a brush of some sort, but for the price they are acceptable if you need to buy and have them delivered, but if you DID have time, you would be better off going to Ross, Marshalls, or TJ Maxx and buying better quality ones for around the same cost there.
