I bought these canisters in white to go with my green kitchen. I love them. They are so pretty and look vintage. I'm using mine for sugar, coffee and coffee creamer. They are also pretty heavy, so I feel like I got a lot for my money. I like the seal aroung the lid, it keeps the contents fresh and also keeps the lid from chipping the base. I would recommend these even if you wanted them just for something pretty on the counter.
