- Today is Oct 28th, Almost a year ago today, I purchased this. As soon as I saw this, I was so happy with it. The material seems sturdy and supposedly of good quality. The product itself seems pretty and my first impression was that it was so well made. My paint began to pucker over time, but I did not realize to what extent until later on, as I did not know what would be the end result. It was only after I observed the paint around the bottom holes puckering that I noticed the damage. In order to put the item in storage, I had to address some personal matters. This was just a regular storage, so there was no water logged in it. I rediscovered this after it had been stored in storage and noticed a few things I had forgotten.

A yellow 5 quart colander I bought in 2010 is still in my possession. The helm has very discolored and rusted over the past 7 years, even though I have cleaned it carefully and promptly each time after use. After owning the vehicle for a couple years, the paint began to discolor. It is said that a picture tells a thousand words, so here is the state of things The Calypso Basics I bought from is not going to be purchased.
My colander has been in my possession for three years, but I have only occasionally used it. Within the first year, the paint on the bottom began peeling, and it has now gotten so bad that there are now large rusty patches. As for the inside, it has also begun to bubble and flake, which renders it useless. I had been using a plastic colander for the last ten years, but I gave it to my husband when he used it as a gardening It is not as durable or as long-lasting as I would have expected given the price. It is not a product I would buy again or recommend.
I apologize for my mistake. I have been feeding it love and care beyond any kitchen tool I own, and now the seams are cracking. Moreover, the color looks more like a baby blue than a real A display like this was not meant to be anything more.
