These metal canisters are really nice. They're simple and solid. My one complaint would be with the lids: they're metal rings with a flat hard-plastic disk inside the outer ring, and the disk is transparent so that you can see the contents. But the way the disk is attached to the ring, there's a lip in the metal such that when you wash the lid (which you would of course do before using it for food storage, and which the product packaging explicitly recommends), water gets in under that lip and between the disk, and you can't get it out. It's a really bad lid design because the lid will effectively never be truly clean. In my case, I'm not using these for storing food, so this isn't a problem, so I'm still giving these 5 stars.
