I ordered this set for my daughter.  I liked them so much, I ordered a set for myself.  The price was reasonable and the canisters are very pretty in appearance. I've had them now for almost a month.  I put tea bags in one of the canisters, and coffee bags in the other.  I went to make a cup of tea, and when I took the tea bag out of the canister it was very damp. Now I know why these canisters were so cheap.  You get what you pay for.
