1.0 out of 5 stars cute but not practical, October 14, 2008

i got these & thought they were cute, seemed big enough. i opened them to put in the salt & pepper & realized that despite the size on the outside the inside was way too small to fit more than a teaspoon of anything...if that much. & then there is the pin sized hole, yes one TINY hole, on the salt shaker....i could not get anything to come out. we did have fun playing with them but were not able to use them as anything but blocks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not quite functional, February 9, 2009

These are neat, and everybody in my house enjoys their fun and playful look. However, out of the box, they're not very functional. The holes for the salt and pepper to come out are tiny. So I drilled some more holes, and that problem is pretty much solved. But there are other issues, like the small capacity and the cork plug at the bottom. The cork is pretty soft, and it broke in the first week as I was trying to open the bottom to add more salt. These have basically been reduced to being decorations in my kitchen.

I love salt & pepper shakers and these are my favorite. Everyone who sees them can't resist picking them up to play with them. They are amazed when they realize these cuties are salt and pepper shakers. Get them. They are so much fun!
