Love these gold canisters! The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because I wished they were a set of 3. They are a nice translucent gold and look pretty in a white kitchen. The top opening is large enough to use them for flour/sugar with a little scoop but I keep candy and gum in mine. The lid is a solid gold-colored metal  and fits on snugly— not a screw-on— which is nice, too. Very nice for the price.
