These spice containers are the best! Love,love,love them and the way they snap together is great. No tipping over in the cupboard.

**Update after 7 months of use: I still love how they all fit together and save space in my tiny cabinet, unfortunately on some of the lids, the black rim (that's not supposed to come off) has popped off some of my containers as I removed a spice container attached to it's top. I've watched the SpiceCare videos to see how to properly snap on and off connecting containers and have been doing it that way since the day I got these, but it seems like the container it was connected to was fitting a little too tight. As much as I tried, you cannot push the black rim back into place. It is now forever loose, unless I attempt gluing it myself somehow, which makes that container useless unless it stays at the top of the stack, because if I attempt to interlock another container on top of this loose one, it will pop completely off when I try to remove it. I don't feel like the quality of these containers are worth the price. I'm really disappointed, because I just loved how space saving these are.**

These SpiceCare containers are pretty cool. They interlock and has allowed me to organize my extremely small area for spices in my kitchen.

Pros:
-Great way to reorganize your spices. I have a single super small cabinet that I use for spices. I'm short in height, so I can only reach the bottom level of the cabinet, so I really only have a single small shelf. I have over 35 spices and these containers are a life-saver. I now have room to get a couple more spices, when before I had no room for what I already had.

Cons:
-Made of plastic rather than glass. I've read from many sources that glass is generally better at keeping spices fresher. Also, one of my large containers is ruined because apparently my ground clove has reacted with the plastic and made it cloudy. After some research, apparently some spices (as well as the oil in cloves) can react with certain plastics and cloud up the plastic.
-If shaking spices from the container, a lot of the spice will stick to the edges of the lid. Depending on the spice, it's hard to tap the spices back into the container, so I have to wipe down the lid most of the time before I connect it other containers. Cleaning it isn't necessary, but I just don't like a build up of spices on the top.
-If you want the container to be a shaker, you have to remove the lid before adding the metal shaker piece (a piece of metal with holes in it). Removing the plastic shaker part of store-bought containers have always bothered me, but having to snap off the lid before placing the shaker piece then re-snapping the lid back on is a little too much for me, especially since I don't use the shaker that much, but would need it on few occasions.

Although, I only have one pro and a few cons, I would still buy these again and still recommend them. Being able to interlock them and creating so much space is just amazing. I would have preferred if they were made of glass, but the pro outweighs the cons for me this time.

This Medium size container is one of the better sizes they have available. The large is quite nice, as well. But the small size is just too small for anything. I received a 1 oz. sample of some spices and even that wouldn't fit in the small container. Although, my sample was labeled 1 oz., I didn't actually measure it to see if it really was 1 oz. So perhaps my samples were over 1 oz.
