Theyre cute but REALLY SMALL.  These arent the containers that your mother and grandmother had. Decorative but not really functional.  I love the color and theyre made well, but not air tight for storage. If youre looking for a splash of color and dont need the storage, you cant miss with these. But if youre wanting to actually store coffee and sugar, find another option.  The sugar container is smaller than my sugar bowl, and the coffee likely wouldnt hold a bag of Starbucks groud coffee.  Ill use them for something else, like the random screws we all have or cat treats.
