I find these food storage containers to be the right size for so many pantry items such as flour, sugar, cereal, pasta, grains, dry pet food, cookies, crackers, snack packs....the list goes on. They stack neatly and uniformly (two high on my pantry shelves) without leaning, hold a lot and seal well. The lids open and shut easily with their flip-side closures all around, a modern take on a classic space-saving, practical design. The containers are clear which allows visibility of contents so organizing the pantry is easier than ever. I plan to get more so my entire pantry will look neat and orderly - very inspiring!
