This is an attractive way to store just about anything. We are trying to get away from plastic storage for food because of potential adverse health affects and were looking for a substantial size for dog food. This holds almost the entire bag (I think it was 15 lb bag). Only negative is that we've had some difficulty with the handle (which you assemble yourself). It doesn't fit tightly so I don't use it to lift it any longer. Other than that, it's great.

This is a nice looking jar. But... the handle is scary. It certainly does not seem to be very sturdy or functional. I definitely would not fill this jar 1/2 way and pick it up by the handle.... fear of it crashing to the floor is a major concern.

A bit awkward assembling the cover and handle, but otherwise very nice product... sturdy and the right size for storing vinegar.
