Assuming that the 80-pound (36.3 kg) stainless steel block is a solid cube, its side length would only be 16.6 cm (6.5 inches). (The density of the most common stainless steel (304) is 7930 kg/m^3.) Not nearly as big as the picture suggests. Still, it seems like it would be an awesome addition to my kitchen.

Considering the downward trend of quality in home appliances, it makes even more sense that it's not even solid metal.

It's a polymer shell filled with sand and stainless steel cover on 5 sides.
