This is a really nice storage container.  It is large enough to store long and thin foods such as pasta noodles but it can also hold other things like cereal or flour, sugar etc.  
It has thick walls so it seems to be very durable and should hold up a long time.  It is also dishwasher and microwave safe but I don't think I will do that very often because even so I think it would damage the material if you did it a lot.  
The lid is completely removable.  It has a four sided locking system.  Suppose to be watertight and airtight.  Overall, I am very happy with my food storage container.  It will be used mostly to store pasta but I know it can easy be used for other items if needed!
