We really love these for the kids cereal, it does leave crumbs every time it’s turned so to avoid pieces getting on the counter every single time, we put a tray for it to sit in so it’s okay if it makes a little mess and the tray can be cleaned off every few days. We did order it and one of the containers was shattered into pieces, but I did the live chat and send photos and they immediately shipped us a N.E. one. I am very pleased and everything worked out great.
