Heavy and looks so real July 2, 2010

I bought this as a gift for my father to stop his office door. He absolutely loves it. When you enter his office you see this huge heavy chunk of gold being used as a doorstopper it just makes you go "wow". It's quite heavy and will probably stop a heavy door. It is plastic, but very convincing, and the underside has rubber feet, so it wont slide away on wood, stone or tile.
A Great Alternative To Designer Arik Levy's Famous Doorstop August 25, 2010

This is basically a rip-off of the Limited edition 'Bar Of Gold Doorstop' by Tel Aviv designer Arik Levy. But at under a fiver, and with Arik's original costing over £50 on-line at the Conran shop, it's hard to say which version the Rip-Off really is.
Ok - The original might be better quality and covered in real gold too, but to all intents and purposes you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference. This doorstop is a very good quality item, it feels satisfactorily weighty, and the gold outer looks incredibly convincing. The shine really does look like real gold - and too the touch it feels cold - it's plastic but at first I wasn't sure; the underside and base is clearly plastic, but the bit you actually see, I thought was aome sort of coated metal. I had to inspect it really closely.
It comes in nice packaging too, so it will make a nice novelty gift for someone; it's no just delivered in a cardboard box, but a clear plastic box which displays the item on a black background with 'dazzling' gold graphics (they're kind of kitch, but that's part of the fun and it's intentional - I'm pretty sure it's intentional anyway).
The bar itself has little rubber feet which helps it grip shiny, uncarpeted surfaces such as wooden floors, laminate flooring, tiled floors and lino. And I suspect - if you're a fat cat or businessman - this item would look great (as the manufacturers and the box suggest) used as a paperweight on your desk.
After much umming and arghing (take a look at the above review's comments section) I decided to take the plunge and buy one of these doorstops. Will it hold the door open with the cats jumping all over it? Who knows - I'll come back for an update in a few weeks and let you know, but the overall weight, I would say and I'm guessing here , is about the same as your average bag of sugar - maybe a touch less.
However - after having just received my doorstop in the morning post at work I can tell you the look and feel is very convincing and for the price, I must say, this seems like a bargain. Put it this way: I know what everyone's getting in their stocking from me this Christmas.
If this review was helpful to you at all please give it the thumbs up. Thanks! :-)
