The only thing bad about this item is that it arrived bent. The inner lid is oval instead of round and you have to jam it in to get it to fit. But over time that should fix itself. Otherwise, it's a darling little piece of India in my kitchen, and I have it filled with several spices I use often for Indian cooking, like fennel, mustard seeds, cumin, cayenne and coriander. My only other comment is I wish it was bigger, or that I had bought two.
