We bought this set about six months ago and three have already cracked from the pressure of just closing the lid. We store crackers, nuts, raisins, flour, etc. It's just my wife and I and we're pretty careful with them. They've never been dropped. The lids are rather tight to open and close so they seal well but the plastic case material is obviously not strong enough and too brittle. The canisters look very nice but do not last.

These are really wonderful. I was concerned that "8 pieces" might turn out to be 4 containers and 4 lids like so often is the case, but it wasn't. There are 8 sturdy, not flimsy, containers as shown with lids that seal securely but are still easy to open. The large ones will hold brown and white sugars and flour. The smaller are perfect for leftovers. I think these will keep my leftovers from getting that refrigerator taste. I'm going to use my other storage containers to give away cookies, cakes, pie and candy to friends. They can keep the containers or throw them away. I have what I want for storage now.

We purchased 3 sets of these. We have a cube storage system in our kitchen and each cubby is for different categories. Flours, Sugars, Baking (soda, powder, salt, etc), Cooking, Herbs & Seasonings, etc. We love it, It changed us searching for things to easily and quickly finding things. Even our teen son loves the system and no more lost items in a pantry. I feel they are pretty sturdy, easy to clean and the stacking system is great.

Received as a Christmas gift. Didn't really expect to love them. But I love them! A couple things to remember, when hand washing, remove the gasket from the lid and allow it to dry completely before reattaching. If not moisture will get trapped inside your otherwise air tight container. Next take care in removing and replacing the lid. Don't just throw it on and expect the product to do what it's supposed to do. So far I have used these for roasted pecans, chips, cereals and the items have remained fresh and crisp! I'm ordering another set today!

Not wild about the lids. You can't totally fill the storage container if you want the lid to actually seal. Also, you cannot use the handle on the lid to carry the container. Once you lift the handle up, the lid is no longer sealed to the storage container.

I have two full sets of these - not a single issue and I've been using them for nearly 2 years. Just waiting on them to go on special again so I can get a 3rd set. They are great. Only thing I won't put in them again is granola cereal, I think it just absorbed too much moisture, but everything else has stayed fresh. I use them for tea bags, sugar, pancake mix, Cheerios, I have one dedicated to ground coffee...they are wonderful.

I love this set of containers in various sizes at such a great price! Now I need a set of large cereal containers all the same size. I have been searching high and low for a uniform set that doesn't break the bank! Please, Please make a set of just large cereal containers to match this set!

I bought this set just a couple of weeks ago. I really loved them and was having a great time filling them up and seeing my items all neatly organized. I had one left to fill and as I took it out of the plastic packaging it fell onto the floor and the entire corner smashed and broke. So, I do like these containers but I would like to see them be of a much more durable material. Here on the homestead we need things that will stand up to life!

This set was received one week ago, so no long-term info. I've washed some by hand, and some on the upper dishwasher rack. Both worked great. Probably lasts longer by handwashing, but just to let y'all know, upper dishwasher wont ruin these...yay! So far, I'm Loving this set! I really Like the sizes, like the shapes (fits better in cabinets etc, than round ones I've previously used. :-)

So far I have no complaints! I do wish they were a little bit bigger.
