Love this container! I make it a habit to repackage my dry goods once I get them home from the store & have a "helter skelter" of containers I've been using. Now I can reign in the chaos. This 17-cup size is the perfect size to hold 2 (4-pound) bags of sugar which is great as I only shop every 4-6 weeks. I like that I don't have to remove the entire top to get to the contents. I find the tops fit nice & tight, so I don't worry about anything crawling into it or having the sugar get hard or clump because of moisture. Although kind of opaque, I can still easily see the level of sugar to know when I'll need to get more, and I don't find it difficult to pick up or hold. So glad I found them here, and for a reasonable price at that! Other places I looked wanted way too much $$. Now that I've found them, I'm definitely going to be getting more to replace containers I've been using for all my dry goods.
