These are beautiful canisters! I have been looking for a while for a set of three canisters that would actually be functional and elegant. I ordered this set based on all the positive reviews. I was not disappointed when they came, very well packed in fact. They are beautifully traditional in appearance. The large canister is big enough to hold a 5 pound bag of flour and has room to scoop out the flour with a measuring cup without spilling over. The middle canister has more than enough room for a 5 pound bag of sugar; and I put salt in the small one, with a little wooden spoon. I am very happy with these. They are unique and roomy.
