These are gorgeous to look at. They are much bigger than I'd expected. Drag out your measuring tape and really assess before you order. The mechanism is not as great as other mills, can't get the pepper to grind finely. That's a drag. Oh how we suffer for beauty. Lastly, like another person here, in the first set I ordered, neither one worked! But wayfair was great sent a new set no questions asked. I appreciated it....
